Santarem
| Santarem is actually
along the Rio Tapajos, not the Amazon. The Rio Tapajos is a "clear"
or "black" river and looks different than the Amazon. The city has
over 265,000 people with Indians, gold prospectors, rubber tappers, river
dwellers, nut gatherers and herb collectors. A very interesting
combination of people and scenery.
We did a little fishing and you can see the piranhas. Actually folks on the boat caught 3 and they were cooked and everyone shared. It was delicious!!! You can see where the 2 rivers flow side by side for a long time. And of course look for the "gas station". Its on the river!
