Amazon Adventure: A Cabin in the Woods.

After a minibus took our group of six to the Mutuca River, we transferred to a small dugout canoe and arrived at a cabin deep in the forest (Amazon Green Tour Lodge). Life here tries to maintain the characteristics of the rainforest. The bath water is collected and purified from rainwater, and it smells of pine branches. The river at the door is a natural swimming pool. At noon, we ate authentic Brazilian food in the cabin restaurant, and in the morning and evening, we sat by the river to watch the sunrise and sunset. Life was simple and comfortable. The monkeys were mischievous and fearless, rummaging through bags and stealing chips. Fortunately, the dogs were very friendly, especially the bulldog, who enjoyed my petting. There were also hospitable children, the cook's children. The wild monkeys were their pets and playmates.
