Paulo Melchior


Paulo Melchior, one of our favorite nature guides in Santarém, is hospitalised at the Municipality Hospital. We all wish him a speedy recovery because he is missed by fellow guides, and especially by our international tourists. My picture of him was taken at Bosque Santa Lúcia last year.

An old mango tree gets it


A gigantic mango tree pruned to bare bone.  Vultures are quick to smell death among birds, iguanas and other animals residing in the protection of a beautiful tree.
