Love those bridges through the jungles. Bet Tarzan wish he had those instead of swinging through the trees.

An excellent page Waltraud, especially that photo of you and Otto!! Nice tip on the Jacaranda wood too - one of my favourite trees but I did not realize it had such hard wood! Thanks for the great info on this beautiful city!

That "zique-zaque" street is some kind of nightmare for stilettos...! ;-) Great place, Wal.

This place seems even more lovely Wal. Did you stay here or do a day trip in order to visit?
