Our final excursion in Brazil was to the state of Mato Grosso, an area known for its wildlife and natural beauty. The four of us, along with my parents, ventured off the beaten path (sometimes way off the beaten path), visiting the three areas of Cuiaba, Nobres and Chapada dos Guimaraes.
Highlights: lots of birds, namely "Blu" and "Jewel" from the movie Rio; lots of water activities; lots of animals, including super cute monkeys, delicious alligators (which we ate at a restaurant one night) and creepy Capivara, which are the largest rodents in the world (weighing, on average, 100 pounds), as well as very beautiful scenery, caves, and waterfalls.
