Our boat trip to the Xixuau Reserve off Rio Jauperí gives us a first taste of travelling the water ways, the typical means of transport in the Amazonas, if you cannot afford a plane. The landscape around is beautiful, but everything takes much longer than expected. The first hours on the boat are pleasant. After the engine being broken and ours not moving from a spot in sight of Manaus for 24h, we start loosing a bit ourpatience, as we lack clean water as well...However, finally, Plinio, the President of the Reserve and organiser of our trip releases us with a speed boat: only 7 hours, and we reach our destination.
