// BRAZIL
Brazil was my final stop in South America. Coming from the Amazon rain forest, I again arrived here by river, on a massive ship housing both passangers and cargo. Some of the photos from that journey are below. Having begun my Amazon journeys in Ecuador, I traveled several thousand miles by boats and cargo ships through four countries, through some of the most remote corners of the globe. It truly was one of the standout experiences of my life, something I don't know if I'll ever be able to do again. Beyond that, Brazil was unbelievable — a storied land of colonial cities that could put the most beautiful towns of Europe to shame, of vibrant cultural traditions, and remarkable landscapes that have to be seen to be believed. I spent a month in Rio resting, then another month in Sao Paolo simply because I didn't want to leave. But in the end, the road always calls. So it goes.
