Natural Beauty

In five weeks time my holidays will be here, and I am in the process of planning what travelling and activities I will be doing, actually what me and my brother will be doing. He is coming over in four weeks and together we are going to the Amazon and another place called Bonito (the Portuguese word for beautiful). From the little that I already know of these two places, both of these places are natural beauties and I literally can not wait to see and experience all that I can. I will be trekking through the jungle, swimming in the Amazon river with pink dolphins (and alligators and cobras!), visiting local Indian tribes, diving amongst bright and beautiful fish, abseiling into caves, swimming in blue lagoons, walking through the treetops and much more.

Whilst planning my holidays of this year I thought back to those of last year, and the many wonderful and splendid sights I shared with my mum and dad during their time here. One of the places we went to was the Iguaçu Falls, a place where numerous large waterfalls meet to create a sight that is truly magnificent and magical. Walking by the waterfalls, so close we could feel the spray, we watched as small birds dived in and out of the cascading water. The fresh smell of nature was truly overpowering, and was accompanied by the vibrant colours of the rainbow, that disappeared not once while we were there. I will never forget the crashing sound of the water as one waterfall met another, the vibrancy of the greenery surrounding them, and the numerous rainbows that could be seen arching over the waterfalls. The beauty of the nature that exists on this planet never ceases to amazes me.
