A Secret Trail

Leão pointed me in the direction of “the second most dangerous neighborhood in Gurupá” so I went for a walk. On the other side of that neighborhood, I found a trail through the bush. I walked down that trail for a mile or two until I met a guy on a bicycle. He told me the trail goes all the way to Porto de Moz. The trail was full of jungle flowers, and if you come to visit maybe we can arrange a trip so can see it.

Other Photos From Gurupá

Someone was drying cacao beans on one of the paved streets in town. This is where chocolate comes from.

Bomeliads and orchids grow wild and live off of other trees.

If you look at the bark on this tree, you will see many diagonal scars. The sap from these seringa trees makes rubber. That is the Amazon River in the background.
