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.

@TrainLordJC4 ай бұрын
@@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.

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? 🤷

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 KZbin (which by the way, got pushed down below 150 other comments lately).

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.
