Inside the Amazon Rainforest: Part 2 | Brazil Travel

A unique travel documentary staying in the Amazon jungle on the Amazon River.
In the second part of our Amazon adventure we start off with an overnight sleep out in the jungle, surrounded by insects and Caimen (crocodiles). We head to a local village where we get to try delicacies of the forest, and row through dense flooded rainforest spotting monkeys, birds and the most energetic sloth we have ever seen!
We learn about the rubber trade history and how it was harvested before returning to the lively capital of the Amazonas state, Manaus.
