Adventures of YB125 in Brazil. Part 1
It turned out that entering Brazil = entering the summer. We did not even have time to undress, the real heat at 27 degrees crushed and melted us so that we could not get together for two days. Acclimatization is necessary even when riding a motorcycle.
Slowly, like turtles, we move in the heat. 27 degrees ... And tomorrow we have to go another 300 km inland, which means there will be more!
The town Sao Migeu Das Mission is today valuable for lovers of history, architecture and wishing to face the truth. Today, the largest reductions of the mission of the Jesuit Order remain here. Ruins are protected by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage. Although, in fact, of course, are more a monument to the unjustified savagery of the conquerors of South America.

A small part of the park's inhabitants:
We admit that no photograph is capable to express the true grandeur and power of this natural miracle ... one would like never to forget in detail all that we have experienced there.
The South of Brazil is very densely populated, only fields and pastures are spreading spaciously. And the road network is very dense. True, sometimes the road can be paved with cobblestones or even from compacted clay (but still it is). But bridges are not always there, there are such ferry crossings. This is the crossing over the river Uruguay, by the way:
