Brainrotting Extras: Crossing Amazon by Boat: Belem to Macapa & Road Conditions on BR156 Oiapoque

If you've been researching how to get your motorcycle across the Amazon from Belem to Macapa, and then want to ride on to the French Guiana border at Oiapoque on the BR156 this guide is for you. I shot it during the dry season in September 2010 with the aim of showing how to book tickets for the boat across the Amazon and current road conditions in the area. I hope that by being able to see what lies ahead your own trip preparations will be a little easier. Enjoy

Trabalhei 2 anos como motorista de caminhão nesta estrada, muito sofrimento, porque na epuca não tinha estrada pavimentada, mas eu gostava muito e tenho muita saudade.

Excellent information. Just enough to give us some preparation without making it into a 'sagged tour'.
