Today's edition of "Armchair Traveling During the Coronavirus Lockdown" takes me back to one of our very early morning excursions on the river. We set out to do some bird watching. Bird photography from a moving boat is nearly impossible, but I did capture some fantastic rainbows. It had rained heavily early in the morning, but we managed to escape getting wet. I always had the rain sleeves for the camera with me anyway...

The Meeting of Waters is the meeting between the dark waters of the Rio Negro and the pale sandy-colored waters of the Amazon River. For 6 km (3.7 mi) the two waters of the rivers run side by side without mixing. It is one of the main tourist attractions of Manaus.
This phenomenon is due to the differences in temperature, speed and water density of the two rivers. The Rio Negro flows at near 2 km/h (1.2 mph) at a temperature of 28 °C (82 °F), while the Rio Solimões flows between 4 and 6 km/h (2.5–3.7 mph) at a temperature of 22 °C (72 °F).
This caterpillar imitates a caterpillar already attacked by parasitoid wasp larvae, protecting it from an actual attack. The thick white hairs somewhat resemble larvae emerging from dead caterpillars. Found in the Peruvian Amazon.
Harbor in Leticia to start your visit to the Amazon river in Colombia. Very picturesque, and the start of a great adventure. I returned a week ago and I am still itching from the mosquito bites … and I know abour repelent. Lovely scenery and a great 4 days.
Embarquement à Belèm sur le Clivia, un bateau de transport de marchandises et de passagers, pour 3 jours de navigation sur l'Amazone et ses affluents afin de rejoindre Santarèm en Amazonie.
Expérience humaine fabuleuse et aventure extra-ordinaire...
Pendant ces 3 jours on se laisse bercer par les remous et la fausse tranquillité de l'Amazone, le plus grand fleuve du monde !
Rêve de gosse que de se retrouver sur ce fleuve et dans cette région du monde pour laquelle aucun superlatif n'est assez fort ou puissant pour la représenter...
La promiscuité est présente sur le bateau mais elle est source de rencontres, de sourires et d'éclats de rire ! chaque jour est une aventure en soi même au gré des arrêts dans les villes et les villages, des accostages par les enfants, de la musique qui est forte et tout le temps présente !
Mes compagnons de voyage sont des chercheurs d'or, des commerçants ou bien encore des indiens retournant dans leur village...
La nature est là, partout, exubérante, sauvage et indomptée...

Today's edition of Armchair Traveling takes me back to our visit to Peru during which we spent 4 days in a resort on the Amazon River near Iquitos. We ventured out on the river several times a day to visit villages along the river to view the way of life in this tropical, wet area. The flora and fauna were fascinating. This is an Achiote Tree, the seeds of which are used to make annatto, an orange-red condiment and food coloring. The flavor is described as slightly nutty, sweet and peppery.

Mãe e filha se aproximam dos barcos em busca de mantimentos, roupas, etc. Uma triste beleza. Me chamou a atenção o olhar da garotinha...
We finally arrived at our jungle lodge, after a long speedy and adventurous boat ride along the #AmazonRiver after leaving #Iquitos.

Esta fotografía revela una escena del río Amazonas. El río más caudaloso del mundo. Es la arteria principal de uno de los biomas más importantes del mundo: El bioma amazónico. Sus aguas son el hábitat de miles de especies que cumplen funciones muy importantes en la ida de la tierra; nuestra casa.
