Below the lingering cry of a black sky charged with water, appear the first rays of Sun that allow the traveler to observe the flow of long and winding threads of water that lose themselves in the leafy vegetation of the Amazon, an area inhabited by restless and bustling wild animals, not used to the presence of humans.
Natural space full of color and haunting. A place that invites to be explored. A jewel under torrential rains… to admire, know and look at the surprising fauna that slips away in the fertile vegetation in which valuable flowers like orchids grow.
