Above: another person going fishing.
Above: Just as we went past this fisherman caught a fish.
Above. This was the driver of our launch. His T shirt is interesting - see more in Santarem blog above.
Above. Entered a small stream feeding into the lake and followed it up stream until it became shallow. Then we bated in the stream. Water crystal clear and full of fish. Lots of birds - egret like birds as well as parrot type birds. Also heard group of macaques in the forest.
Above. After lunch we hired 2 "launches" to explore the lake a bit, 5 in each launch.
above. Alter do Chao is actually on a lake - Lago Verde (Green) - which feeds into the Tapajos River.
Above. Lunch. Great fish - this is Tucunare - a well-known Amazon fish.
Above. Lunch. Jacquelina (blonde - Samuel's wife) and some of Samuel's friends and work colleagues.
Above:A view of the town. We had lunch at this restaurant. The triangular shaped tree is called Jambu - they are always the easiest trees to identify as they are all triangular.
From Belterra drove to Alter do Chao. a small town that is building a tourist reputatio. Already attracting international tourists. Apparently The Guardian did a report on it earlier this year calling it Brazils most beautiful beach. It is certainly pretty.
