Our boat in the Paraná do Jari at the entrance to Lago Jari. The water level in the lake was to low and we had to leave this big boat behind and continue our trip with a much smaller boot to research in the Rio Jari. The giant Lago Jari with over 60 km in length and up to 5 km wide, has only three caboclo communities on its terra firme along the lower western bank. Traveling in its center one feels like being in the open sea. We carried three canoes with us, of with one sunk during two hours of continuous strom and rain accompanied by high waves. And almost one of the caboclos drowned as well.
