Mountainbiking in Brazil

The highlight of the time in Brazil was the mountainbike trip. Our guide told us that the distance would be around 20km and we would need 4 hours what I thought would be very long, but it turned out that it was for sure more than 20km and more than 4 hours...

It seemed as if our guide has never done the tour either. In the beginning he was taking it quite easy and we stopped from time to time to drink water or even jump in a river to cool down again

but soon there were no more brakes and we were just going and going in a crazy beautiful environment

We had to cross several rivers

But although we tried to go as fast as we could it got dark before we reached Lençois. The last picture before the night.

So we had to take out our lamps. The problem was just that we had only two. So first I was going without one, down steep tracks, over rocks and crazy terrain. When we got closer to Lençois and the roads got better our guide gave me his lamp. And he kept falling over his front wheel again and again. But he was laughing and it almost felt as if he enjoyed it...
