Life was meant for good friends and great adventures
I should have taken the heli ride during the day or sunset time. But, because i did not know that Rio's traffic could be as terrible as Jakarta, i was late and missed the time. The heli tour owner was very very nice to ask the pilot to wait for me though they should have… Continue reading Rio From Above
If you ask most people, they will say that number one thing to do when you are in Rio is to go to the Christ Redeemer. But not for me, not for me, i have a different idea. If you ask me, i will say: Skip the Christ Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain and take the… Continue reading Christ Redeemer
The most beautiful park in Rio, should i say. It is situated below the Christ Redeemer statue. You can see the statue looks so small from here. Can you spot it in my pictures?
Here are some pictures i got from a walking tour around a slum area in Rio. This tour would be an interesting choice for tourists from a developed country. But not for the ones from developing country. You must have seen this kind of area in your home country. Which was my case since i… Continue reading La Favella
I now understand why Copacabana is an icon in Rio. It is super duper HUGE. The coast line is very very long. I can imagine it will be full of tourists during the summer. I was there on a winter so not many people were on the beach. Even so, i still saw some people… Continue reading Copacabana & Ipanema

But this probably is one unique place none can compare. Some say it feels like we are in Mars cause where on… Continue reading Lencois Maranhenses
I don’t know about you but i find camping in the Amazon jungle is such a cool experience. And yes i also know that it was dangerous. We slept in the wild and no one knew what animals lived there. In fact, around midnight there were angry monkeys making noises just few meters from our… Continue reading Jungle Camping
When you visit the Amazon, please remember that you are not in a zoo or an amusement park. You are in the jungle! No one can guarantee what animals you will see and encounter. No one can. It really depends on your luck. Thank God i got a quite high dose of luck. During my… Continue reading Amazon Experience
Finally! I saw the biggest river in the world. I was surprised to find a river can be that hugeee!!! I thought it was an ocean because i cannot see the end of the river. And that enormous ships which normally found in the ocean, the one that carry lots of cars, yes that one, you… Continue reading Amazon River
