Kindle Free Pick of the Week - Into the Amazon

A page turner.

‘Into the Amazon’ follows lone explorer and inveterate dreamer Jerome ‘Jeronimo’ Jennings into the remote jungle of the Peruvian Amazon. Travelling by bus from Cusco to Pucallpa and then by river barge to Iquitos he sets out with local guides in dugout canoes and on foot on the trail of the anecdotal anaconda.

From the highest city on the planet to shrunken lakes boiling with flesh eating fish, through gloomy, tick infested forests to ones of lush splendour Jeronimo’s tale is told in a light hearted fashion but one that is rich in description, experience and passion for the forests and rivers of the greatest rainforest on earth.

From the high cordillera he travels to and explores day and night the hidden lakes of the Cumaceba, Abacharama and Triunfo, drinks ayahuasca, the legendary and highly potent brew of the shaman, in the jungle, at night, and ventures into remote jungle and the haunt of the giant anaconda.
