I dream of this!
How to visit the Amazon
How I did it: I saved up my money (and frequent flyer miles), contacted a wonderful travel agent who owns a lodge in the Jungle, went to get my shots and prescriptions from a local travel clinic and off I went!
Lessons & tips: Don't take more than you need-a backpack is sufficient. Definitely take long pants and shirts and a headlamp. These plus a water bottle are necessities!!
