About the Author After attending his first year at the University of Costa Rica, in the early 80s, Mynor was infected with the beautiful traveler's disease, with results so far incurable. His first big trip started in Nicaragua, a country torn by war. He then crossed the border to El Salvador, another country plagued by guerrilla warfare. After surviving the crossing of Central America and the Mexican desert, Mynor came to the USA, before finally settling in Canada. Since then, he has accumulated thousands of miles, traveling around the Americas and other continents. He has worked and lived in Mexico, Colombia, Paraguay, Costa Rica, and many U.S. cities. Today, his home is in a suitcase, usually in a country or place between Brazil and Costa Rica. Most recently, Mynor has spent over a year traveling the world, mainly in South America, navigating several rivers in Colombia and Venezuela. It was there that he finally decided to achieve one of his most cherished dreams: to navigate the mighty Amazon River from its inception in Peru to its flows into the beautiful Atlantic coast of Brazil. After traveling in more than 60 countries, some of his favorite places are Thailand, Costa Rica, and China; but he lists Colombia and Sweden as countries on the list of places that everyone should visit before they die. In his own country, his favorite sights include visiting the active Arenal Volcano and lying on the Manuel Antonio beaches. Currently he is busy writing his upcoming books "Walking from Costa Rica to the Amazon" and Amazon: Wisdom and Life Lessons. One of his most memorable travel experiences occurred when a herd of monkeys stole his camera and lunch, while Mynor was enjoying the sea in Costa Rica's Pacific beaches.

The Amazon of Brazil


Book Description

Bookdivides the immense Amazonian region into western and eastern sections, as each has its own unique characteristics. The Western Amazon is the state of Amazonas on the border with Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela. In this region of the Amazon nearly 98% of the rainforest is unspoiled. It is here where the pristine headwaters of the Amazon - the Rio Negro and the Rio Solimoes - come down from the Andes, far from the modern world. The main port of entry for exploring this region is the jungle metropolis called Manaus. On the eastern side of the Amazon, there are some amazingly beautiful destinations, but there are fewer options as the region has been partially deforested and basic transportation and infrastructure are problematic. The top destination on the eastern side is Pará state, with its rich cultural life, the exotic capital Belém, nearby Ilha de Marajó, and Santarém, up the Amazon River near the border with Amazonas. The author, a longtime resident of Brazil, is Latin America news director for ICIS, an international news agency. The best hotels for every budget are detailed, from beach resorts to country inns, restaurants, attractions and activities are detailed in the cities, towns and villages. Shop-till-you-drop ideas for crystals, native handicrafts, Amazonian fetishes and more. The history, culture and music of the country are examined up-close, taking you into Brazil's samba schools, rainforests and amazing nightlife. Includes an easy-to-use language primer.
