One thing I love about travelling is the friends you can make all over the world. The guy below leaning against the truck is a proper bushman, but one that loves a joke. He was born and bred in the Pantanal and has never left so as you can imagine he had no idea what my iPhone was. One of the days we were out trekking he gave me some of the liquorice that he chews throughout the day - well - that's what he said it was...

Turns out it was a practical joke, and it was a super strength tobacco that he chews throughout the day. He thought it was hilarious that I was almost sick!

Spending days upon days in the jungle makes the simple things much more special. After a hard days work fixing a flat tyre in the tropical sunshinthere is nothing more satisfying than chopping down coconuts and drinking straight from them.

Everynight when the sun goes down the Howler monkeys come out. These guys have one of the loudest noises in the animal kingdom. They call to each other with this deep howl to mark their territory - the sound of their call can travel up to 3 miles through the rainforest.

One evening as we were walking through a thicket of trees we looked up and amazingly could see a bunch of these howler monkeys. One by one they came down to see us.

When these monkeys started urinating and throwing their excrement at us we realised they were not that excited to see us!

The Pantanal is like the Everglades of Brazil - a floodland that is a menagerie of wildlife from emu to caiman to anteaters..I went there several years ago and highly recommend it if for some ecotourism type travel.

Like that :)

This is wired

Love the little adventure man! It's one of my dreams to go and actually see some of our animal kingdom ancestors in the wild. Maybe not howler monkeys though. They sound like not so much fun! Maybe a spider monkey!

Keep it up! I hope Steemit is helping you sustain your travels, that is one goal of mine right now to have steemit provide a little bit of income so that I can travel more.
I look forward to seeeing more of your content in my feed!

Sometimes animals are so crazy! They attac they steel and have no fear of humans. Maybe you will not beleave but I live in Fuerteventura and I had a dove which wanted to steel my appartement. I wrote a post of it of course. Because it was so so strange.
Amazing animals ;)

Nice pictures, must have been quite an adventure!

Excellent Article. Did I mention that I love art? Thanks for posting.
