Venture far up the least inhabited river in the Amazon Basin: The Rio Negro. Travel with award-winning filmmaker Marlin Darrah to explore areas rarely visited. The goal is to find the mysterious life of the wilderness that stirs in the forest and in the heart of pristine nature. Traveling aboard the unique Amazon adventure boat Tucano, this journey explores some of the most untouched rainforest in all of the Amazon. Visit several kinds of forest, including the strange beautiful flooded forest known by Amazon Indians as the Igapo. This forest and its overhanging trees are home to a great variety of flora and fauna. Here are amazingly colorful birds, magnificent rainforest trees draped with vines and carpeted with orchids, and occasional monkeys chattering and cavorting in the tree branches. You’ll also visit homes of deep forest settlers to see what their lives are like, on the edge of this vast trackless jungle. Also the fascinating jungle city of Manaus – famous for its colorful harbor and massive open air market.
