Overview

The Amazon's incredible biodiversity makes it one of the best places on earth to observe the wonders of evolution first hand. This guide provides an expansive section dedicated to the secret life of Amazon plant, animals and the waterworld of the river. Travellers are given sound advice on eco-travel, combating perils and planning their own expeditions. With the aid of this guide the reader can journey the Amazon from source to delta, enjoy the exhilaration of adventure sports on fast currents or meander at leisure along one of the many tributaries - and perhaps even discover the lost city of El Dorado. The guide covers all nine countries of the Amazon Basin and Orinoco and gives guidelines on travelling safely with minimum impact to meet the needs of eco-travellers, naturalists, sports enthusiasts and explorers. As well as a detailed illustrated natural history section covering species and habitats, it includes thorough background on indigenous tribes and settlers.
