Mick and Keith went to Brazil and Peru in December 1968.
It's when they wrote "Honky Tonk Women".

Think it was a cruise from Lisbon to Rio and an eccentric English woman they met was asking them for a glimmer.Quote

Wasn't the story about the origin of "Glimmer Twins" -- a rich old lady on a cruise that Mick and keith took for some time off who kept asking them 'Who are you, give me a glimmer?' -- supposed to have been in South America, maybe an Amazon cruise? Not sure, but it seems to ring some bells. Maybe closer to 1969 than Fitzcarraldo?

Yep, that's why HTW has this distinctive latin feel ...
Wasn't there talk once that the riff of HTW came from Ry Cooder?

Not the riff. They had that on the Satanic sessions already. But some of the licks Keith plays on HTW are taken from Cooder's playing on Downtown Suzie.
