MANAUS, BRAZIL - During my food trip to Brazil there was no place I wanted to visit more than the Amazon Rainforest. We flew to Manaus (if you look at a map, Manaus is directly in the heart center of the Amazon). The jungle, the unique dishes and fruits, and the people made it incredible.
Exotic fruit tasting - One of the things that you have to do when you’re in Brazil, especially in the Amazon is sample all the unique and indigenous fruits of the region, some that are only available there. We started with mari-mari, an amazing long pod fruit and have inga (ice cream bean fruit) and biribá - wild sugar apple. All the fruit - 10 BRL ($2.55)
Manaus is a pretty big city, especially for being in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. They have a big market, full of fruits, vegetables and fish. We headed straight for some tucumã, a type of palm tree fruit that’s essential in the local diet.
Jenipapo - Along the way we also tried some jenipapo, a pretty unique fruit.
Tucumã sandwiches - Sandwich shop owners better take note! Tucumã sandwiches are a true Amazonian food and they are delicious. Along with the palm fruit they were paired with cheese and fried sweet banana. It’s a perfect breakfast and way to start the day in the Amazon. Price - about 10 BRL ($2.55) per sandwich
Tambaqui fish - Tambaqui is a fish from the Amazon that’s known for having ribs - seriously almost like pork ribs. We decided to get a fish to bring to the village since we weren’t sure what they’d have al the village.
Amazon village - We didn’t really have a plan, we were just going to find a boat driver and ask him to take us to a village and see if anyone could cool. So we got a boat, and our boat driver asked if they were home and if we could invite ourselves in. We arrived completely unplanned and unannounced and it turned out to be an outstanding learning experience and fun time with an amazing family in the Amazon.
Along with the food we brought, the family mixed up about 4 different exotic drinks - some of them known in the Western world as ingredients in trendy energy drinks - but here in the Amazon of Brazil they are consumed regularly.
It was such an awesome Brazilian Amazonian food meal with the family followed by a time of drumming and dancing, football, and finally a swim in the river. It was an extraordinary day in the Amazon of Brazil.

MANAUS, BRAZIL - From Belo Horizonte, we flew to Manaus, a city in the State of Amazonas, which is in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. It’s the biggest city in the Amazon, and it’s surrounded by massive rivers and jungles. I was so excited to be there. We landed in the mid-afternoon, so we just had a few hours to walk around and explore, and get our first impressions of the Amazon. #Manaus #BrazilianFood #Amazon
Mercure Manaus Hotel - Thank you to Mercure Manaus Hotel for hosting all of us during our stay in Manaus, and for the amazing dinner.
We first drove to the market where we sampled a few local fruits. Most of the fruit stalls were closed, but a few were open and mainly we tried Cupuaçu and a type of wild passion fruit.
Amazon Theatre - One of the most important landmarks and sights of Manaus is the Amazon Theater, a beautiful theater in the middle of the city.
Restaurante Canto da Peixada - I wanted to try a local freshwater fish dinner before going back to the hotel, so we stopped to eat a grilled tambaqui, one of the prized fish of Manaus, Brazil. It was delicious. Total price - 89.70 BRL ($22.96)
Dinner at Amazon Restaurant at Mercure Hotel Manaus - Finally we were invited for dinner back at the hotel where they prepared us an amazing Amazon meal including a huge mix of dishes. I didn’t even know I was digging into the piranha soup, and it was so good. Freshwater turtle is also a major part of the Amazonian food diet.
It was a great few hours and my first impressions of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.

Unseen SUPERFOOD in Amazon Jungle - Real Way to Eat AÇAÍ (You’ll Be Surprised) in Belém, Brazil!
????Lemongrass Ants in Amazon Rainforest:

Thanks to Guilherme ( for taking us around Brazil.
BELÉM, BRAZIL - The state of Pará in the northern part of Brazil, still located in the Amazon jungle, is one of the most gorgeous and food rich states of Brazil. Along with massive river fish, one of the main foods grown in and around Belem is açaí (acai), the small berries from the acai palm tree. #Brazil #AmazonRainforest #acai
Before going across the river to a harvest açaí (acai) and for a full Amazon jungle food meal, we stopped at the Belem market and bought a chunk of fihote, a type of Amazon catfish.
We met up with our friends, and took the boat to Cumbu island, to meet with relatives of Lana, who arranged for us to have an entire açaí (acai) food experiences.
When you think about açaí (acai), unless you’re from Belem, you probably think about a sweet fruit bowl covered with fruits, and possibly some granola mixed in. That’s all I knew about acai before coming to Belem. But in the state of Para, acai is eaten totally different. The berries are ground into a paste, and eaten as a main dish with a full meal - typically with fried fish.
One of the reasons why açaí (acai) is eaten this way only in the northern Amazon rainforest is because açaí (acai) really doesn’t travel or export fresh. It spoils so fast, within hours of being ground. So typically they sweeten it and make it into a sorbet to get around the world - which is why it’s then prepared into a sweet fruity açaí (acai) bowl. That’s not bad at all, just totally different from how they eat it in the Amazon.
Along with an outstanding acai feast, we also had maniçoba, another staple of Para food - cassava leaves cooked for 7 days to take out the poison and cooked with a variety of pig parts. It’s a wonderful dish.
It was an amazing learning experience, and I’ll never think of açaí (acai) the same again.

Brazil officially the Federative Republic of Brazil is the largest country in both South America and Latin America. At 8.5 million square kilometers (3.2 million square miles)[10] and with over 208 million people, Brazil is the world's fifth-largest country by area and the fifth most populous. Its capital is Brasília, and its most populated city is São Paulo. The federation is composed of the union of the 26 states, the Federal District, and the 5,570 municipalities. It is the largest country to have Portuguese as an official language and the only one in the Americas;[11][12] it is also one of the most multicultural and ethnically diverse nations, due to over a century of mass immigration from around the world.
Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 kilometers (4,655 mi).[14] It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile and covers 47.3% of the continent's land area.[15] Its Amazon River basin includes a vast tropical forest, home to diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, and extensive natural resources spanning numerous protected habitats.[14] This unique environmental heritage makes Brazil one of 17 megadiverse countries, and is the subject of significant global interest and debate regarding deforestation and environmental protection.
Brazil was inhabited by numerous tribal nations prior to the landing in 1500 of explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral, who claimed the area for the Portuguese Empire. Brazil remained a Portuguese colony until 1808, when the capital of the empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro. In 1815, the colony was elevated to the rank of kingdom upon the formation of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. Independence was achieved in 1822 with the creation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The ratification of the first constitution in 1824 led to the formation of a bicameral legislature, now called the National Congress. The country became a presidential republic in 1889 following a military coup d'état. An authoritarian military junta came to power in 1964 and ruled until 1985, after which civilian governance resumed. Brazil's current constitution, formulated in 1988, defines it as a democratic federal republic.[16] Due to its rich culture and history, the country ranks thirteenth in the world by number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites

This can be called a minor accident because the pain is not intense, the edema (swelling due to excess lymph fluid) does not go beyond the elbow and there are no systemic symptoms.
7. SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Marcelo Mello, Maintenance Worker:
I put up a ladder, climbed the stone to remove the weeds and as I was coming down I put my hand on top of it. It turned around and bit me.

13. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Dr. Anibal Melgarejo, Uruguayan Biologist, Director of Herpetology Research at Instituto Vital Brazil
(He talks while extracting venom from a Jararaca snake):
This is the most common snake and out of 28 neighborhoods in the city of Niteroi it can be found in 24 or 25 of them, which means it is present practically all over the city
14. Close up Bothrops Jararaca going up stairs

16. SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Claudio Machado, Biologist:
The Jararaca is an animal that does not lay eggs. The female bears the offspring. Around 20 to 30 in each pregnancy and they spread around. The female does not build a nest, there is no motherly care. The offspring end up looking for refuge near people's houses.

This animal can reach a size of about 2 metres long and produces an amount of venom capable of killing 16 people, in its glands. This is what worries us, because the Jararacussu was a rare serpent 20 years ago, here in the city of Niteroi. We used to receive here at the Institute, one Jararacussu for every 50 Jararacas and now 20 years later this situation has increased in an alarming way. Nowadays we get one Jararacussu for every 5 Jararacas. In other words, while the Jararaca did not reduce its frequency, the Jararacussu increased its presence 10 fold in the city of Niteroi.

The Last Religion (Documentary about Positivism in Brazil, 2015)
Director: Hugo Pinto
Production: Hugo Pinto and Luísa Sequeira (Director of Photography)
Co-production: Um Segundo Filmes (Portugal)
The Last Religion - An interview with Hugo Pinto:
More information:
They had been around during the Proclamation of the Republic and even designed the national flag, but only a few in Brazil are aware of the historical significance of the Positivists – the followers of the doctrine created in the nineteenth century by the French philosopher Auguste Comte.
Brazil, home of samba and football, home of Christ the Redeemer and Candomblé, is the unlikely place where we can find alive the legacy of a thinker who believed in the liberating power of scientific knowledge.
Regarded as the founder of Sociology, Comte believed that the world could only be explained by science and that faith would be replaced by reason.
Comte rejected supernatural deity, but nevertheless saw religion as an important instrument to unite people around a common idea, as well as a moral order, against the anarchy of selfishness.
Based on universal love and his own newly invented concept of altruism, Comte founded the Religion of Humanity.
In his vision he saw the Temples of Humanity built around the world, but that only happened in Brazil, in the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre.
The Last Religion is a documentary that traces Positivism in Brazil since its inception until the present day.
Filmed in Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre, The Last Religion introduces the ideas and the people who still believe in a world dominated by knowledge and selflessness as means to combat the two of the greatest global problems: religious fundamentalism and capitalism's closed horizons.

BELÉM, BRAZIL - What an amazing city for food lovers - so many unique dishes, foods, ingredients from the Amazon, and so many amazingly friendly and hospitable people. This was one of the best days of my trip to Brazil.
Ver-o-peso Market - One this Amazonian street food tour of Belem, we started at the market, one of the must visit attractions in the city. It’s all you could want in an Amazon market - full of freshwater fish, herbs, vegetables, and fruits out of control.
Jambu Cachaça - After walking around the fish market section and seeing some of the amazingly brightly colored chilies, I was introduced to Jambu Cachaça, Brazil’s sugarcane liquor spiced up seriously with jambu - an Amazon tongue numbing flower and leaves. Wow, it’s serious.
Beef soup - 6 BRL ($.155) - We stopped an a friendly man selling Brazil nuts, and right then, a lady came around selling soups for breakfast. We had a beef soup, very hearty and delicious. I tried the jambu flower for the first time, so strong and so good. We then ate some Brazil nuts, a superfood packed with nutrition.
Fruit juice - There’s nothing like Amazon fruits and here’s the juices we tried: Cupuaçu, Cacao, Bacuri, Acerola
Box da Eliana e Kelly - And here’s where this Amazon street food tour in Brazil got out of control. Our friends in Belem had organised with Eliana, from Box da Eliana e Kelly to host us for an amazing Amazon food lunch, where all their friends at the market each cooked their speciality and brought it to the table. There was so much good food and so much love I could hardly believe it. Lots of the Belem Amazon foods contained tucupi (sauce from wild manioc), jambu flowers and leaves, and Pirarucu fish.
Thank you Eliana! None of the amazing Ladies would accept payment. Please go meet them in Belém!
Tacacá Da Diva - 4 pm is the best time in Belem to eat one of the most amazing street food in the city, and I would say one of the best street foods in Brazil - Tacacá, I still can’t believe how good it is, and how it’s not loved all over the world! We also had Vatapá. Price - 13 BRL ($3.35) per bowl
Rosário Lanches - Finally to finish this Amazon street food tour of Belem, Brazil, we went to Rosário Lanches, a legendary stall. We tried both their roasted pork let and their hot dog, both of which were incredibly delicious.
What am unforgettable day of Amazonian food in Belém, Brazil. Thank you to everyone who made it happen and to everyone for preparing the amazing food.

Amazon Protesters Swarm Rio de Janeiro Demanding Action on Deforestation
Protesters gathered in Rio de Janeiro to protest after series of fires broke out at an unusual pace in Brazil this year, causing global alarm over deforestation in the Amazon region.
Amid global concern about raging fires in the Amazon, Brazil’s government complained Thursday that it is being targeted in smear campaign by critics who contend President Jair Bolsonaro is not doing enough to curb widespread deforestation.
The threat to what some call “the lungs of the planet” has ignited a bitter dispute about who is to blame during the tenure of a leader who has described Brazil’s rainforest protections as an obstacle to economic development and who traded Twitter jabs on Thursday with France’s president over the fires.
French President Emmanuel Macron called the wildfires an international crisis and said the leaders of the Group of 7 nations should hold urgent discussions about them at their summit in France this weekend.
“Our house is burning. Literally. The Amazon rain forest — the lungs which produces 20% of our planet’s oxygen — is on fire,” Macron tweeted.
Bolsonaro fired back with his own tweet: “I regret that Macron seeks to make personal political gains in an internal matter for Brazil and other Amazonian countries. The sensationalist tone he used does nothing to solve the problem.”
Onyx Lorenzoni, the president’s chief of staff, earlier in the day accused European countries of exaggerating environmental problems in Brazil in order to disrupt its commercial interests.
“There is deforestation in Brazil, yes, but not at the rate and level that they say,” said Lorenzoni, according to the Brazilian news website globo.com.
His allegation came after Germany and Norway, citing Brazil’s apparent lack of commitment to fighting deforestation, decided to withhold more than $60 million in funds earmarked for sustainability projects in Brazilian forests.
The debate came as Brazilian federal experts reported a record number of wildfires across the country this year, up 84 percent over the same period in 2018. Satellite images show smoke from the Amazon reaching across the Latin American continent to the Atlantic coast and Sao Paulo, Brazil’s biggest city, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres tweeted: “In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. The Amazon must be protected.”

Federal prosecutors in Brazil’s Amazon region launched investigations of increasing deforestation, according to local media. Prosecutors said they plan to probe possible negligence by the national government in the enforcement of environmental codes.
Bolivia is also struggling to contain big fires, many believed to have been set by farmers clearing land for cultivation.
Bolsonaro said there was a “very strong” indication that some non-governmental groups could be setting blazes in retaliation for losing state funds under his administration. He did not provide any evidence.
Bolsonaro, who won election last year, also accused media organizations of exploiting the fires to undermine his government.
“Most of the media wants Brazil to end up like Venezuela,” he said, referring to political and economic turbulence in the neighboring South American country.
London-based Amnesty International blamed the Brazilian government for the fires, which have escalated international concern over the vast rainforest that is a major absorber of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The rights group this year documented illegal land invasions and arson attacks near indigenous territories in the Amazon, including Rondonia state, where many fires are raging, said Kumi Naidoo, Amnesty’s secretary general.
“Instead of spreading outrageous lies or denying the scale of deforestation taking place, we urge the president to take immediate action to halt the progress of these fires,” Naidoo said.

BRAZIL: RIO DE JANEIRO: 70 KILLED IN SEVERE FLOODS AND MUDSLIDES
Portuguese/Nat
As the death toll from floods in the Rio de Janeiro area of Brazil rises to more than 70, questions are being asked as to who is to blame for the ensuing mud slides that swept through hillside shantytowns.
The downpour -- which lasted two days -- is believed to be the heaviest rain in 25 years.
Conditions were made worse after the River Rio Grande overflowed, preventing many people escaping the rising water and the sliding mud.
About one-fifth of Rio's 6 million people live in its 660 slum sites, and it was they who came off worse after torrential rain was followed by landslides.
The sunny conditions in the south-east of Brazil belie the fact that recently the area has had some of the heaviest rain in a quarter of a century.
For two days the downpour buffeted Brazil's south-eastern coast, destroying roads, countryside and property.
Some slum dwellers in Rio blamed the city mayor, Cesar Maia, for the flooding, saying he failed to order the dredging of the city's river, which made the effect of the heavy rain even more damaging.
This man says he is lucky to be alive.
SOUNDBITE: (In Portuguese, rough translation)
When the flooding started we were all terrified. After one member of my family died, I realised there was no way we could stay here if we wanted to survive. Now we are waiting to see what is going to happen to us, and what the authorities are going to do to help us.
SUPER CAPTION: Rio flood victim
Rio's Mayor Maia said some of the victims were slow to evacuate after the first rain came.
He said that they were evacuated but went back to their home before the danger from the water and from landslides had receded.
The Rio fire authorities said slum residents cut into the hillside to build a shack, but fail to build drainage so the sewage seeps into the ground.
This in turn creates a layer of rotten earth that falls away during heavy rain.
The fire service say that in future shacks in high-risk areas would be demolished.
Drugs pushers are also being blamed for contributing to the damage created by heavy rain.
Rio's secretary of urban planning, said that the traffickers who control the slums refuse to allow city workers to reforest the bare hillsides, which means that more water runs off the hills.

LEAD IN:
Northwest from Rio de Janeiro, the region known as the 'Valley of Coffee' was the first important coffee producing region in Brazil.
Coffee production was at its height in the area in the mid 19th century.
But by the turn of the 20th century the industry moved to S�o Paulo state, leaving behind hundreds of unused coffee farms.
STORYLINE:
Originally there were about eight hundred farms in total according to a study by the Cidade Viva Institute in Rio.

Saving endangered monkey helps Brazil's forest survive
(3 Oct 2019) LEAD IN:
Brazil's Atlantic Forest is one of the most ecologically diverse places on Earth.
Deforestation threatens the region's biodiversity and its flagship species the Golden Lion Tamarin monkey.
Now local people are working to replenish the forest and ensure a more secure future for the tiny primates.
STORY-LINE:
The future of this tiny species of monkey is closely interwoven with the fate of the forest in which it lives, Brazil's Atlantic Forest.
The Golden Lion Tamarin monkey is listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
The tropical and subtropical rainforest that is the species home is heavily fragmented due to human development.
The Atlantic Forest stretches more than two and a half thousand miles along Brazil's Atlantic coastline, and deep inland to Paraguay.
Many of Brazil's major cities are on the coast and for nearly two centures people have been clearing the trees to create settlements which are now urban areas.
Areas of the forest have now also been cleared for an oil and gas pipelines and for electricity cables to service the cities.
Small holders and nursery owners here are now working with the NGO Mico-Leao-Dourado, or Golden Lion Tamarin, to collect precious seeds and replant the forest.
The NGO buys the seedlings produced by the nursery owners and provides them with training.
Regenerating the lost forest is an enormous task, but nursery owner Maria Coelho da Fonseca Machado Moraes is not daunted.
Moraes known locally as Dona Graça or Ms Grace, owns a nursery in Casimiro de Abreu in Rio de Janeiro state.
She carefully mixes the soil, limestone and clay to create the perfect growing matter for the seeds of endangered trees from the forest around her.
These are trees that the children of the future have to know. Otherwise it will only remain in the books, in the school. The children won't have the knowledge, it will only stay in memories and the will to know about it. So I want, if I could I would rescue all the trees by planting them, I would do that, she says.
According to Moraes: The stupidity and ignorance of the man (human) has destroyed most of the trees and continue destroying them. So I'm trying…I can't do too much but, the little I can do I try to do it properly to rescue those trees.
Moraes and other locals are joining forces to replant lost areas of the forest.
Seeds are collected and grown into saplings before being transported to the forest for planting again.
Luis Paulo Ferraz is the Executive Secretary of the Golden Lion Tamarin Association, the NGO helping the small holders hold onto what's left of the forest, particularly the lowland in Rio de Janeiro.
The Atlantic rainforest is one of the planet most threatened biome, more than 90 percent of it was deforested, was destroyed. What is left, is very fragmented, that is terrible for some species and for the ecological balance in the areas where there is still Atlantic Forest, says Ferraz.
Golden Lion Tamarin Association NGO was set up to in 1992.
The organisation's goal is to ensure there are at least two thousand monkeys in protected areas.
This drilling is not what it might seem at first. This work is being done to save the forest, not to dig it up.
Methodically the planters move forward planting what they hope will be a new, long lived generation of trees, native to this area.
These saplings were laid in February this year.

15. Various of women handling jars with other insects
16. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Claudio Mauricio Vieira Souza, Biologist:
This animal's poison is neuro-toxic. It works on the nervous system causing very intense pain, which can become unbearable, with intense sweat. It also alters breathing and heartbeat and in the more serious cases, liquid is accumulated in the lungs in what we call acute lung edema, which leads to death.
18. Biologist extracting poison from scorpion
19. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Claudio Mauricio Vieira Souza, Biologist:
Here we have approximately five to ten micro litres. This will provides between 0.3 and 0.5 miligrams of poison. We will need a great quantity of scorpions. (to create antivenin)
20. Close of scorpions on table held by pliers
21. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Claudio Mauricio Vieira Souza, Biologist:
The animal is camouflaged by its surroundings. Some substrates like mud, roof tiles are a good hideout for this animal which goes completely undetected.
22. Various of biologist extracting poison from scorpion
23. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Claudio Mauricio Vieira Souza, Biologist:
Until the eighties and nineties we had ten thousand cases of scorpion bites per year. In 2005 we were notified of 36 thousand cases.
24. Various of scorpions chasing cockroach
LEAD IN:
Brazil is home to several types of scorpions, but one species, the yellow scorpion (Tityus serrulatus) is highly poisonous and is on the move.
Health officials in the state of Rio de Janeiro have seen a recent invasion of the yellow terror.
STORYLINE:
The number of scorpion stings reported in several Brazilian states has doubled over a four-year period from 18,000 in 2001 to 36,000 in 2005.
Of the 36,000 people stung in 2005, fewer than 30 died.
However, many fear the real number of scorpion bites is actually much higher because many cases go unreported.
Health authorities believe scorpions are spreading to new territories by hitching rides inside wooden fruit and vegetable crates.
The deforestation of the Atlantic Forest has allowed scorpions to migrate over the area.
Historically, the Atlantic Forest separated Rio State from the northern scorpion infested regions of Brazil.
The forest served as a buffer between the two territories because scorpions could not survive the journey through the rain forest.
In the town of Campos, hundred of yellow scorpions were found in one single residence.
Resident Mirian Pessoa Peixoto says that she always find scorpions at night in her kitchen and bathroom.

You hear my cry, lover of mine
No tear in the eye or fear in my mind
The forest is thick and you don't recognize
We parted our lips and we reached from inside
In a wide open field we know we can feel
Awake and unreal, off to nowhere
Need more people to be satisfied
No fear of a god and prayer for the night
You come into our minds and rush through our lives
We parted our lips and reached from inside
In a wide open field we know we can feel
Awake and unreal, off to nowhere
The only thing you've got, you know you're better off without it
Youngest fire, you decide
You decide what is right
Near yet so far, isn't it?

Torrential rains in a short period of time lead to the flooding – a rare phenomenon that has happened at least three times in the last 16 years. Olho D’Água (eyes of water”) is a popular snorkeling spot known for its crystalline waters. The clarity of the river comes from minerals that rapidly take out dirt and impurities as they descend to the bottom. The water receded to its normal level by the end of the day. Recanto Ecológico Rio da Prata is in Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil’s pantanal region.
