Manaus URGENT-URGENT
Posted: Mon July 14, 2008 10:41 PM UTC
Hi,
I have a friend travelling South America at the moment. Couple of days ago he had been robbed in Venezuela and changed his plans to go to La Paz. He is in the bus right now, going to Manaus from Venezuela. The thing I want to ask is what is the best&CHEAPEST way for him to go to La Paz from Manaus? Regarding is limited budget at the moment is is a better idea to go through Rio Branco or Porto Velha for Bolivia? Or I've heard when I was in BR that there are commercial river ships sailing through Amazon river. And they sometime letting backpackers travelling with them for a small amount of money. Is that true? And if it is; what is the way to find these ships? Do they go to Bolivia or somewhere close to there?
Or what are the bus ticket prices for bolivia from manaus? Any idea? He is pretty stucked now n needs help.
Any answer & idea is appreciated. Thank you in advance...

Greetings
Manaus is far from La Paz, you must know that manaus is surround by rain florest, so you can take a airplane from Manaus to Corumba.
Maybe possible take trip by boat, sorry but i dont know.
