BR-319 Porto Velho a Manaus

The 12 hours (in truth it was 17 hours, 12 hours is only a speech, sorry) are from about 130 km behind Manaus to Humaita, not all the way from Manaus to Porto Velho! When I said "hard drive" I meant average going with over 80 km speed, as I was alone in the car I had only to look for myself. But the fun actually gone, still is a nice drive to the landscape and so on, but no more Off Road fun!

Ok ..

Understood now. Really not as off road more, but it is now virtually impossible to pass. I have a friend coming next week, will be a great challenge.

See blog as I will be the roadmap of the project in 2010 ... much more challenging, small walk on roads that are not on the map.

I already wrote to Sergio, but I want to inform that in April 2009 we drove with 2 Toyota Landcruisers from Colombia thru Venezuela to Brazil and all the way long down to Manaus. Passing the BR319 from Manaus to Humaita took us 3 days staying 1 night close to the rio Luna (fantastic to see there the pink dolphins) and 1 night at the side of an Embratel tower. We found a lot of mud after the second ferry (before rio Luna) where one car get stuck 2 times, but we could recover it without mayour problems. We found also a lot of white mud with heavy rain at the end of the way coming closer to Humaita but we could manage it without problems. The biggest challenge was to pass a wooden bridge about 160 km south of rio Luna which was almost fallen down. We spent almost 4 hours reinforcing it and crossing over with the cars was a big risk. If this bridge has not been repaired it could happen that passing is not possible.
