RUBBER JUNGLE - Part 2

RUBBER JUNGLE - Part 2 __ INTO THE AMAZON__ Our first stop was Belem, a bustling port city located at the mouth of the Amazon River. This is where Caito lived with his beautiful wife Angela and their lovely daughter, Julia.

We figured we would need to make some serious preparations for the two thousand mile river journey, but Caito didn't seem too concerned. When we asked him about food supplies, he took us to his favorite ice cream shop...When we asked him about mosquito repellent and malaria pills, he took us for samba lessons... And when we asked him about getting a boat, he took us to truck tire re-tread factory on the outskirts of town. He said if we wanted to know the real story about Chico Mendes, we had to first know the real story about Amazon rubber. He took us over to a truck tire re-tread factory where the son of x-rubber baron gave us the scoop on natural rubber.
