The beginning of a journey: 250 miles and 3 days journey through dense rainforest, Holly Morris travels by cargo boat down one of the remotest stretches of the Amazon, in Peru. Sleeping in a hammock at night, she shares deck space with over 200 local Peruvians, and countless boxes of vegetables and fruit, heading to the largest city in the Peruvian Amazon, Iquitos. The journey goes on.
In 1989 during my 1969 VW campervan journey from the top of Alaska to the bottom of South America I transported my home on wheels from Boa Vista in Brazil down the Rio Branco to Manaus for three days getting stuck on sand bars etc and on another five day ferry trip down the Amazon River to Belém and continued on to Tierra del Fuego. All of this journey was epic and I can relate to what you encountered on your trip. Wonderful to have had the opportunity to enjoy such experiences.
@@rick-be no, I meant Tierra del Fuego and it's a lot more than 1000 miles away, especially from Alaska, through the Rockies, Mexico and all of Central America then down the Amazon River and across the Andes Mountains and the lakes and volcano district of Chile etc and much more. Unbelievable drive! Always camping in nature, no hotels or camping grounds the entire time, bathing in rivers, lakes or the sea etc.
I traveled to Peru! I'm still discovering new places! Definitely my favorite country in all of Latin America. Peruvian culture is authentic and unique in the region, the country is fascinating.
I went to peru 16 years ago and traveled to yurimaguas to take the boat to iquitos. However, I decided against taking the boat to iquitos because of the accommodations on the boat. Good for her for going through with it. Fascinating documentary, done excellently!
Thanks for sharing. This video clip is worth watching for. It is very interesting to learn about the birthplace of Rubber trees. Now they are all in Southeast Asian countries, pretty much.
interesting video when I was 14 years old I spent 15 day s on school holiday in Iquitos. it was one of the best experience I ever had.i now live in australia
Excellent video. I started my South and Central American tour from Guyana , Brazil ,Uruguay ,Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and then costa Rica , Nicaragua , Honduras, Salvador, Guatemala,Mexico , belize and then back to the USA .. I love those countries . My next trip will be Argentina Chile Venezuela and the rest. I am so lucky to travel over 70 countries.. going for all.. your video is awesome .
The Captains know the River well, they took the time to nevegate it. It sorta reminds me of my Nile River Cruise in September 2021. The locals tried to tied up their small boats to sell tourist some large scarf, blankets etc
This is the Free Documentary style I fell in love with some years ago! This is raw, talented, amazing editing and telling an interesting story ... Keep up the amazing work, Free Documentary! 👏👏👏 May I also remind you of the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shockingly sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deal, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 🤷
My jaw dropped as I read Native American population in their motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION.. It is a shocking sad truth. 😔
Slavery, Genocide, Colonialism and Colonization are evil things done by evildoers. Native American people have not occupied an inch of European land, or slaughtered a single European in Europe; while European Colonizers have occupied both North & South America lands and terminated 99.9% of Natives population. A very sad truth. 😔
The Christian West would commit and practice a great many cardinal crimes and sins, many of them knowingly, such as centuries-long global; - Colonization, - Genocide, - Slavery, - Colonialism, etc which benefited them enormously for centuries worldwide; then they would initiate and take a measure to ban those practices worldwide, and take credit for it. 😔 🤷 For honest truths, pls read the supremely informative and insightful, multi-pages comment by 'Lonely Alaskan' at, "Complete History Of Indigenous America Before Colonialism/Chronicle", on UA-cam (which by the way, got pushed down below 150 other comments lately).

the Iquitos-based conservationist Dr. Richard...grew sweatier with each minute on the tour through the steamboat - he's a big guy...very interesting accent...fascinating documentary - thank you!
You can journey on the upper Amazon in 5 star comfort with one company that have both a 32 and 40 pax boat stopping to visit small villages, taking jungle hikes, exploring 25-30 miles up various tributaries in smaller boats, swim with the pink dolphins all hosted by highly qualified guides. My travels exceed over 50 countries, 7 days on the upper Amazon is pretty well on the top of the list.
Great work on your journey, Miss Holly, I enjoy watching your documentary reach in Peruvian history, especially from Iquitos, the capital of the region of Loreto
What an amazing boat journey into the Amazon jungle. Sad to hear the sufferings of the indigenous people in the past. Let's us learn from history and not to repeat the same mistake. Thank you for sharing this great video.
Just found this vid and i love it.I enjoyed that part where you were playing cards with the crew.Nice experience going through the Amazon.I've longed to try this once in my life if given a chance.
Pretty much the rubber industry has removed much of similar habitats in Malaysia and SE Asia but glad to see this region survived and somewhat recovered although not willingly for the investors. Fantastic piece of journalism.
This was an amazing documentary. Thank you. I recommend you make an Spanish version for Peruvians to see. I didn’t know how beautiful was a trip from Yurimaguas to Iquitos. Yo made me care more for my country even thought I’m thousands of Km away. Thanks.

more luxurious river travel compared to African river tour... worst and ughhhhh....
❤ Perú 🇵🇪
This presentor is beautiful
❤
Why was the part where photo demonstrated in museum blurred out? Since when we hide history?
What a life it must be. To travel all over the world. To meet new people. To see such beautiful places. Absolutely incredible it must be.
Position- whatever they like-whatever it takes to land that life. 👀🥴
Yes, like Anthony Bourdain? 😳😢
well, actually this is a film crew, and thus very different life than what you imagine by checking the heavily edited documentary.
I used to do this in my youth ❤😊
@@lo2740you are out of touch 😮
MUST admit, that with all the INCONVIENCES, the VIEW & INTERACTION with the LOCALS IS WORTH IT. . .truly educational. .
To travel all over the world. To meet new people. To see such beautiful places. Absolutely awesome.

Tierra del Fuego is a 1,000 miles away?-did you mean Rio?

@@TrainLordJC I know where it is,I just wrote 1,000 because it seemed when
you left Belem on the boat it seemed that was your next stop.

Saludos desde Lima 🫶🏼🇵🇪
That jungle life is tough but so peaceful. No internet no stress no corporate life. Earn eat sleep and have connection with few people.
Ya gotta fight for every meal.

Informative and entertaining stories, are my favorite ones. Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤
What an interesting trip. The mating dolphins was the climax of the show. 😊
Thank you very much for this wonderful documentary!
I mean i participated on every second of this documentary kudos to all involved thanks so much absolutely amazing ❤❤❤❤
interesting video when I was 14 years old I spent 15 day s on school holiday in Iquitos. it was one of the best experience
I ever had.i now live in australia
Nice to see the classic Globe Trekkers back in action!
Fantastic, fascinating journey, via documentary (for me). and fro real for Holly and whoever helped. Thank you for this. Beautiful.
Really interesting video. I love seeing how people live in other parts of the world.
The architecture and hotel room in Iquitos, was incredible!!
It's colonial style, you can find similar styles in South East Asia, the former British colonies, such as Malaysia, Singapore etc
@@___beyondhorizon4664 very interesting, thanks!
You are a very brave lady, thanks for the video,very informative.... respect..!!!!
Yes. I'd have trouble sleeping in a hammock. And so close to my neighbours. I think I'd sleep on the floor near the railing.
There is no comparison to what you have shown. God bless you. Keep showing up like this. I am really thrilled. Be blessed as always.
Excellent video.

I lived in the upper Amazon as a kid in Peru and Ecuador in the 1950s when it was pretty much virgin jungle. We loved it!
I went to Iquitos the first time via cargo boat. I did 3 other multi day trips down the Amazon to Brazil and back to Yurimagua. Epic
Love these documentaries.watching from Barbados 🇧🇧
this was very beautiful ,how the host enaged with the locals and still gave us a beautiful production.
Beautiful this documentary.❤
I had a lot of fun watching this flick! I'm looking forward to the next!
