Deep in the heart of the Amazon, by the border of Guyana and Brazil, lies a vast, unchartered region - one of the least accessible places on Earth. Inspired by the account of a 1950s explorer, Charles Montier sets out to journey through this remote wilderness.
With the help of Wai Wai guides, the jungle expedition transforms into a desperate survival mission. Facing gruelling mountains, carving a dugout canoe by hand, and navigating dangerous rapids, the team are pushed to their limit in a relentless quest to reach the mighty Amazon River - and civilisation.
“This book is about proper old-fashioned exploring, modestly told
but with plenty of adventure, hardship and discovery.”
- Robin Hanbury-Tenison, Founder of Survival International
“The interactions between Charles and the Wai Wai people,
who inhabit the forest and live by their own rules, are genuinely fascinating and unique.”
- Wallachiaiff Festival
“This is the hardest adventure you can do in the Amazon… the ultimate.”
- Captain ‘Gerry’ Gouveia, Guyanese politician, CEO and veteran jungle aviator
