What exactly are you doing if you go to indigenous people and tell them they all have sinned?
What is the social/ecological impact of that?
Isn’t that like a threat?
adventure, action, thrilling movies with good stories filmed in the amazon jungle and amazon river.
Eg. Air craft crash, camping stories, getting lost in the jungle and the dangerous moments you have to face in the amazon jungle with dangerous animals etc.

(if you got lost)
In the Amazon, by all means where food and water is plentiful, providing one knows what he/she is looking for. I have been in the Congo jungle (military). The orientation without proper instrumentation was terrible, because of the continuous scenery lacking reference points. These are crucial in avoiding walking around in circles, which happened often, sometimes even using a native guide. The majority of food, at least the type we consumed, was towards the big game, very difficult to acquire without proper gun/ammunition (I had no problem there). At times our group had to rely on, yes, the monkeys, which tasted especially good when we were lost, thirsty, tired, and hungry!
Just wondering, is there like Mayan (or Incan or Aztec..?) ruins or previous civilization in the Amazon jungle/rainforest? I’m doing an azzignment and i was wondering. I knwo there are indians that haven’t been contacted and stuff, but is there any like old temples or stuff in the jungle?
…………The Mayans and there ruins are in Central America….. way far away from the Amazon..as well as the Aztecs……. The Incas were in Peru mainly along the coast still aways from the Amazon…… there is evidence to believe an ancient tribe or tribes inhabited the Amazon area with a system of mounds and roads before the white man came……… no Temples such as the Mayas built……. there is a very primitive tribe in the north area called the Yanonabi……. their construction is mostly circular village huts
The Links given above are interesting but deal with Mexico which is at least a 6 hour plane ride from the Amazon jungle
Hi Guys
Just looking for some tips on how to visit all the above in one trip, approx a month.
I’ve found deals with all of them as individuals but i’d rather just fly to one destination, move around and then fly back
Anyone have any tips or websites on how to accomplish this ?
Cheers
I agree, one month is definitely not enough. You’re talking about going to 3 different countries in 1 month. You might think you just want to hit up those spots, do the touristy "bare minimum" and get on to the next tourist spot, but I can assure you that you will end up wanting to spend way more time exploring each spot.
I recommend you expand your trip — at least two months. If that’s not possible, and you only have one month, then decide which spots are the most important to see. I’ve been to Macchu Picchu –it’s absolutely incredible, but if you want to cut out a few days on your trip, you could take the train there instead of hiking the Inca trail. The Galapagos are also amazing, you will need at least 5 days for that, to explore the islands, go snorkeling, and see all the incredible animals.
I haven’t been to the Amazon or to Easter Island, I’m sure they would be amazing, and not enough to fit into a month-long trip.

Amazon Rainfores
The Amazon rainforest also known as Amazonia, or the Amazon jungle, is a moist broadleaf forest that covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. This basin encompasses seven million square kilometers (1.7 billion acres), of which five and a half million square kilometers (1.4 billion acres) are covered by the rainforest. This region includes territory belonging to nine nations. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, and with minor amounts in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. States or departments in four nations bear the name Amazonas after it. The Amazon represents over half of the planet’s remaining rainforests, and it comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rainforest in the world.
The Amazon rainforest was short-listed in 2008 as a candidate to one of the New7Wonders of Nature by the New Seven Wonders of the World Foundation. As of February 2009 the Amazon was ranking first in Group E, the category for forests, national parks and nature reserves.
How to Survive an Anaconda Attack
According to the Peace Corps manual for volunteers who work in the Amazon jungle, here is how you survive an anaconda attack (edited for space).
1. Do not run. The snake is faster than you.
2. Lie flat on the ground, put your arms tight against your sides and your legs tight against each other.
3. Tuck your chin in.
4. The snake will begin to nudge and climb over your body.
5. Do not panic.
6. The snake will begin to swallow you feet first.
7. You must lie perfectly still. This will take a long time.
8. When the snake has reached your knees, reach down, take out your knife, slide it into the side of the snake’s mouth between the edge of its mouth and your leg. Quickly rip upward, severing the snake’s head.
9. Be sure you have your knife.
10. Be sure your knife is sharp.
Uhh… yeah, RUN. Anacondas are ambush predators, if they strike and miss, they can’t chase you down. They are semi-aquatic, and fairly slow on land.
Tucking in your limbs is just making it easier for the snake, if anything, sprawiling out and making yourself appear larger would be a better plan. You;d be constricted first anyway,
Finally, above all else, if this were really effective, I would think making sure you have your knife with you would be #1
