Amazon
River Cruises on the 'Tucano'
Camping
Expeditions in the Amazon
The
Amazon is the world's largest rainforest and the last
great wilderness on earth. Though as big as the continental
United States, it has a population only about the size
of the State of Massachusetts. Most of Amazonia is without
human settlement and the fantastic beasts that have
roamed its vast rainforests since time immemorial live
there still.
Come with us to experience the great beauty and mystery
that still exist in the Amazon. From the crystal clear
waters of deep forest streams to the massive canopy
of the highland rainforest...from tiny leaf cutter ants
to the largest mammals swinging by their tails in the
trees, we will coax from our observations the marvelous
story of the most fantastic collection of wildlife on
earth.

In
the Pantanal of Brazil, Andetur has several operators.
The Brazilian Pantanal floodplain
is the largest (140,000 km2 ) continuous
wetland ecosystem in central South America. This pristine
wetland is periodically flooded, mainly by the Paraguay
River, creating a mosaic of habitat types where several
fish and wildlife species live and reproduce. It is
the ideal place to observe birds and wildlife species,
such as the hyacinth macaw, jabiru stork, roseate spoonbill,
capybaras, jaguars, swamp deer, caimans, anacondas,
etc.
It
is really fun to see all of these creatures in their
native habitat, it is a zoo without fences and without
zookeepers ! There are several ways to observe and photograph
the Pantanal wildlife: just walking along a trail, riding
a horse, by boat, on the back of a truck or even a tractor.

HISTORICAL
TOURS - CONFEDERATE DESCENDANTS IN BRAZIL
Since the end of the War Between
the States, much had been written and said by all those
who wish to find the truth behind America's bloodiest
and most disheartening war. Few realize that this War
took more lives than all of America's other wars together.
The War Between the States took more than 600,000 lives
and ruined the Southern economy. The scars would take
decades to heal. The immigration of Southerners to Brazil
following the War is an interesting and curious event
connected with the War. This immigration was a direct
result of the outcome of the War.
This wave of immigration, which may have included up to
9,000 people, has left in Brazil a community of descendants
of Southern immigrants. They are identified as the "Confederados".
The descendants are all over the country, but the largest
community, and by far de most important is located in
the State of Săo Paulo. This community, founded by the
Southerners, has grown into the town of Americana. Americana
and its older mother city, Vila Santa Bárbara (today Santa
Bárbara D'Oeste), a few miles apart, are the gravity center
of the community of Southern descendants in Brazil. Since
1954, the Fraternity of American Descendants has held
headquarters there.
MORE
"This
club is dedicated to those who left their homes and
their country, moving to a faraway land to rebuild their
lives after the War Between the States. Our ancestors
will always have our undying reverence and our admiration
for their courage, their braveness, and their loyalty
to the Confederacy. We pledge to keep their memory,
and to pass this reverence to our future generations,
and whilst recognizing and abiding to the Brazilian
and American Constitutions, we will not accept any distortion
of the History of The Confederate States of America
by any individual, group, or institution whatsoever."
Brazilian Constitution
Chapter I, art 3rd, clause IV:
"- To promote the well being of all, without prejudices
of race, sex, color, age, or any other kind of discrimination;"
