There is nothing like the Amazon on planet earth. It is the largest tract of continuous forest on the planet, covering nearly half of Brazil and a good portion of adjacent countries.
This expedition takes place at the Parnaiba Headwaters National Park, a region of a particular scenic beauty where the vegetation is comprised by Cerrado scrublands and gallery forest.
Few places on Earth still hold the magic aura found at Mamirauá Reserve. Brazil’s first “Sustainable Development Reserve”, Mamirauá is a huge reserve along the upper Amazon (Solimões) river
