Fazenda Mutum to Chapada |
On the way out of Novo Mutum we stopped for breakfast at Frederick’s farm. |
It always surprises us how TV crews and journalists manage to track us down. At least for this one we had Walter as a translator. |
From Novo Mutum we continued South to Cuiaba. Cuiaba is close to Chapada National Park, an area of hills and canyons a little like the American Southwest only greener. |
We hired a car for the day to explore the hills. In Brazil there is a VW Golfe (equivalent to a Golf) but also there is a more basic version popular as hire cars known as a Gol. |
This is the classic view shown in all of the tourist pamphlet about this area. |
We attempted to drive along a dirt track to see some rock formations but we got stuck in the sand only just managing to get the car back out before sunset. |
