Next
to the grandeur of the Amazon's natural giants, prepare to
be overwhelmed by
an unusual sense of smallness. You could
also try to mentally, emotionally, and physically prepare yourself
for any of the typical experiences and encounters you will
have in the Amazon…However, try as you might, until, beneath
the light of the moon, you watch your guide swiftly snatch an
alligator our of the dark Rio Negro, grin mischeviously, then
pass it to you to hold on to…no, coming from an average
lifestyle, there is simply no way to prepare for such things.
And that is only the beginning! Here you will learn medicinal
secrets of the endangered and, in many cases, extinct indigenous
tribes, snuggle sloths, drink water from the insides of trees,
watch monkeys swing through the magnificent branches of "the
world's lungs", marvel at lily-pads the size of your kitchen
table, eat fruits you never would have imagined existed, canoe
through the endless waterworld of the amazon, stopping to fish
for piranhas and visit with local river dwellers, capture dazzling
sunsets, and fall asleep at night hypnotized by the symphonic
hum of the ecosystem. Welcome to the Amazon, your destination
for adrenaline and rejuvenation. Hostels in Amazon |
