Dag 15: Naar het noorden

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

In the morning, we take two boat trips: first to a site on the mainland (accessible to cars) and then a short boat trip on the river. After lunch, a van arrives to pick us up for the last hotel: Hotel Mata Grosso. Along the way, we see many birds. We also experience that it can rain.
