Thirty years ago my father, a few friends and me went on a great adventure up the Amazon river in Brazil. We cruised into the river via Belem, Para State and then we turned left after Belem into the Tapajos river and then back out into the Amazon and made our way to Manaus, Amazonas State.
My father was a keen photographer and he took hundreds of photos which he left in slides. I recently had some of the slides scanned and downloaded into JPEG images.
Below are some of the photos he took.
