Above: this brave little boy was keen to have his picture taken. But looks a bit dubious.
Above. It was a lovely spot, full of wonderful butterflies - a few of which you can see here.
Above: From the road, looking across a small farm to the river.
From Cajutuba drove along more forest roads to Belterra. This town was developed by Henry Ford to supply rubber. In the town there is a Palacios do Seringuerias (Museum of Rubber trees). Still lots of rubber trees (no longer tapped) and many houses from the original Ford delevopment. Further along the road vstill is the town of Fordlandia - also started by Henry Ford (see also comment in Santarem blog above). Drove through Belterra - no photos I'm afraid. From Belterra continued along forest roads to Alter do Chao. On the way, encountered a group bathing in a small stream who were keen to be photographed.
