Embark on a remarkable journey into the heart of the Amazon with Jacques Cousteau and his team. This book chronicles an unprecedented 18-month expedition, navigating 2,300 miles upstream from the Atlantic to the river's source high in the Peruvian Andes.
Through vivid prose and stunning photography, explore the Amazon's diverse ecosystems, from its teeming waterways to its dense jungles. Encounter fascinating creatures, from tiny frogs to deadly piranhas, and witness the lives of indigenous communities, some still living close to the Stone Age.
This narrative also explores the human impact on this fragile wilderness, recounting stories of gold prospectors, poachers, and the challenges faced by local people as they navigate a rapidly changing world. Cousteau's adventure reveals the beauty, bounty and vulnerability of the Amazon, inviting readers to appreciate and protect this extraordinary environment.
