Hello. I am a 22yr old man from England. I would dearly love to see Brazil as an archaeologist, as most of work has been focussed on the Near East and I'd like to branch out. My focus would of course be on the more remote parts of the Amazon, as I believe I have stumbled across a few points of interest that I would like to see independently, first-hand.
What is the best part of Brazil to have as my 'base', if I am aiming to mount an expedition in to the Amazon? I would like to explore a certain part of the Mato Grosso- are people free to simply head in to the forests at their own convenience, with no guide or beaurocracy- as if you were just off hiking in the US or UK?
I would have two friends accompany me (both of whom are recently retired Royal Marine Jungle Warfare specialists) and would employ a local person to act as a translator.
Also how much can I expect to pay for a budget room, to myself, to stay in for up to two months?
Thanks!
