Should I go to the Amazon Jungle in Peru or Lima, Peru?

October 25, 2009 - 11:07 am 5 Comments


The Peruvian amazon jungle, of course. Beautiful!
You have to stop in Lima anyway to go to the jungle.
Many jungle cities you can visit and also virgin jungle.
You need the yellow fever shot and its card to show it when you arrive to the airport.
Enjoy!
My points pls ;)

Old Christmas movie about a plane crash on Christmas Eve that went down in the Jungle in the Amazon.?

October 23, 2009 - 10:25 am 1 Comment

The only person who survived the crash was a young girl. She had to battle the jungle to get to survival. True story actual event. It took place in the mid 70’s.

Just because it’s based around xmas-time doesn’t make it a xmas movie!!!!!!

How can I manage my hair in the Amazon jungle?

October 6, 2009 - 6:06 am 9 Comments

I’ll be spending 2 months in the Amazon jungle soon and need tips on how to manage my hair. I’m white and my hair is shoulder length, very fine and quite wavy. It gets greasy at the roots within a day of washing it. There will be cold showers available. Any ideas?

I’d plait it and keep it as tidy as poss, it will be very humid so you won’t want it around your neck. Also sweat attracts mosquitos so you are better keeping it up. Shampoo works well with cold water too so don’t worry.
I went to the Himalayas on a trek, never saw a shower for 6 days and didn’t give a damn what my hair looked like until I got back to Kathmandu and a hotel. The shower was the best shower I had had in my life. you know that ad for shampoo when the girl is screaming yes, oh yes……that’s what I was doing, it was bliss!!

Wish I was going with you!!!! Am I jealous, you bet!!!!

What are the most common plants & animals you’d encounter if you were on the Amazon RIVER?

September 27, 2009 - 6:08 pm 1 Comment

I’m doing a project for school (basically it’s like a survivor man experiment) and i tried googling stuff but it goes to the Amazon in general, but i need the river and not much far off into the actual jungle.

Some other things that would help is if you know:
1. What plants are edible.
2. What animals i could eat.
3. What you can do to evade predators

BTW I’m doing this with a partner and the only things we are equipped with are a kayak and a leatherman tool (each of us get our own)

From Wikipedia:

Along with the Orinoco, the river is one of the main habitats of the Boto, also known as the Amazon River Dolphin. The largest species of river dolphin, it can grow to lengths of up to 2.6 metres (8.5 ft). The boto is the subject of a very famous legend in Brazil, about a dolphin that turns into a human.

Also present in large numbers are the notorious piranha, carnivorous fish which congregate in large schools, and may attack livestock and even humans. However, only a few species attack humans, and many are solely fish-eaters, and do not school.

The bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) has been reported 4,000 km (2,500 mi) up the Amazon River at Iquitos in Peru. The arapaima, or pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) is a South American tropical freshwater fish. It is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world, reportedly with a maximum length in excess of 3 m (9.8 ft) and weight up to 200 kg (440 lb). Another Amazonian freshwater fish is the arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) which is also a predator and very similar to the arapaima, but reaches a length of maximum 120 centimetres.

The Anaconda snake is found in shallow waters in the Amazon basin. One of the world’s largest species of snake, the Anaconda spends most of its time in the water, with just its nostrils above the surface.

The river supports thousands of species of fish, as well as crabs, algae, and turtles.

like calming music to relax to.

try timelife.com you can go to shops that are like spiritual shops where they sell CDs of that type of music. You can also use iTunes, or download from limewire. I have hundreds of them.

Know Anything About The Amazon Jungle or Any Jungle?

Well I’m writing a novel right now about a species that have lived deep in the jungle and I don’t know where to start since I’ve never been in a jungle, especially in the jungle and I was wondering if anyone has been there and if so, could you explain a bit of it to me? :) Thankss

I think wikipedia and some encyclopedia’s from your city’s library would help to give you a feel for what jungle environment is like, and for what kind of things live there.
