The next morning, Craig woke up to a lizard on his leg, thankfully for Katie, we had survived our 2 nights in the jungle, but unfortunately today was our last day!

We finished our trip off in the Amazon by visiting a local tribe nearby. The tribe still live traditional lifestyles, but are still forced by the Brazilian government from a young age to attend school to learn Portuguese amongst other things. Once we arrived, we were shown around their village and were then greeted with a 10 minute performance of singing and dancing and even got pulled up at the end to join in with the tribe! It was amazing to even be allowed to visit the tribe and learn about their culture, never mind getting up and joining in on their traditions.

Each native family had their own little stalls of hand crafted goods also, there were some blow darts, jewellery and ornaments etc all made from whatever material the natives have access to in the jungle. The money they earn is used for school bags etc for the kids as they still live with everything they find and create. Katie was even given a gift from the leader of the tribes son, who is currently in training to take over the tribe when his father passes. We were informed it takes over 20 years of training for this in which the ‘chosen one’ has to go through extensive trials and training in order to prove his worth to lead the rest of the tribe.

After spending the morning with the local tribe, unfortunately our time in the jungle had come to an end, so we said our goodbyes to Fabio and headed for the airport. We had more slumming about to do in the airport as we had to wait around for a few hours, before our 5am flight to Miami, USA and for what would seem like being back into civilisation.
