Desert,
Just crossed the Amazon basin south to north from Iguazu Falls in Argentina thru Paraguay to Porto Vehlo, Brazil, then a riverboat 4 days 3 nights, airconditioned cabin, $550usd includes all meals and the bike on the Rio Madeira to Manaus. Old style wood riverboat. Very cool trip on a jungle river. Rode from Manaus to Caracas, Venezuela. Rough roads but black roads(asphalt) all the way. Only one road on the map. Some big cities which suprised me. Plenty of gas. Gas is dirtcheap in Venezuela, .15usd a liter. Porto Vehlo to Manaus by road not possible. The road is gone. No worries on the boat. Bar with music on the top deck. Great views. Sunsets cant be described. Portugese no problem. Pure fun. Bill.
