Hello Boris, how are you? Thanks for your proposition of doing some research in Rio about travelling to Manaus! This would, indeed, be very
helpful to me since I still haven't found out what is the best way (time vs. price) for getting to Manaus from Rio. I've been on several sites and saw about the AirPass -which I found fantastic- but unfortunately won't be able to enjoy at its fullest extent since the length of my stay in Brazil (one week in Rio, two weeks around) would be too short to use the airpass fully. I plan to visit Sao Paulo
where I have friends living there, and like Buzios isn't that far by car from Rio, we might get there too. Igacu Falls aren't so far from Sao Paulo
so we'll do that by road (car or bus). Any suggestions, anything you feel
we shouldn't miss... LET ME KNOW PLEASE!!!
Leaving Manaus... I don't know exactly why but I feel I HAVE to touch that city. I've been attracted by the Amazon, the rainforest, jungle animals,
indians (raoni?) since always... so I'd like very much to visit that part for about four days/three or four nights (enough?). I've seen the websites
you gave me and the Eco packages are a bit beyond my cost expectations (it doesn't include any roundtrip from Rio, right)? Also, I definitely want to
get a feeling of "backpackers", meaning that I won't be requiring much luxury at all, just the minimum needed... fly there, find a cheap motel
(unless you'd find me a real good package that includes all of this), join tours on-place, jungle tours, boat tours, visit to the natives, etc... Do
you recommend me to do this or is it somewhat dangerous? Again, any comments from you... much appreciated!
Sacha-
