Above. Had some snacks. The small fish are called charutos (cheeroots - as they look like cigars, apparently), the small oval ones are called Isca de peixe - literally fish bait (always best not to ask), the others are fish balls - bolinho de piracui - fish and farinho (flour).
Arrangements for Christmas celebrations already well in hand. Gilberto and his band will be performing, followed by a traditional cocktail and bingo.
From National Park we drove along dirt roads through forest following the river Tapajos south for about 50kms. Small farms on either side of road - largely cashews and coconuts. Massive river - can't see across to the other bank. Came to small community of Cajutuba. This pousada (small "hotel") opened last year. Beautiful white, sandy beaches along the river shore. Completely unspoilt.
