Floating away: the Cardosa Ride

For the last day in the Lençois Maranhenses we took the Cardosa Ride floating on the Rio Formiga (Ants River) being dragged by its smooth current. Relaxing and fun!

The fun starts in the village ... 38 km far from Barreirinhas.

Crossing the cerrado, local vegetation, ... 

on a adventurous track and ...

... amazing landscape.

Once at the Rio Formiga we started the adventure.

Great fun!

Cheers!

River downwards to Caburé

Next morning at the harbor taking the motorboat to the peninsula Caburé.

The ride costed 50R$ per person in the low season (60R$ in the high season).

Girls just wanna have fun.

Down the River Preguiça.

The mangroves and the "flying" roots.

The palmtrees:

Açaí is used the production of ice cream.

The leave of the Carnaúba gives the Carnaúba wax.

An awesome sun shine and temperatures above 30C.

Challenged for a motor boat race.

First stop: the Pequenos Lençois ...

... and the locals.

Second stop: the light house in...

The Rio Preguiça flows into the Atlantic Ocean at the Caburé Peninsula, 35 km river downwards from Barreirinhas.

Late in the afternoon we drove back. Time for reflection inspired and supported by this awesome peace of Earth.

Good energy.

Cheers.
