In the beginning of the gloomy, dark and wet Canadian winter on the west coast, a few cheerful, warm and full of life scenes from the Brazilian Amazon rainforest can brighten up everybody's day, no matter where you are right now.
So here you are - some 3 hours' bus drive from Manaus (the state of Amazonas, Brazil), at Rio Urubu, tributary of Rio Negro that brings its rich waters to the mighty Amazon river...., you might say it's somewhere half way to nowhere, and you're completely right!

Do you know that the mighty Amazon river has different name in Brazil than we all have accustomed to its name? - it's called Solimoes in Brazil...
