Contact - Ascent Of The Amazon

About AOTA

Pete Casey will be following the mighty Amazon river in the most ambitious and intimate way possible: walking, sometimes swimming and probably at times crawling every inch of the Amazon from sea to source, and in the process interacting with its people and its wildlife face to face at ground level.

He will use social media via satellite communications technology to share the adventure with people interested in following the journey across one of the most vast and bio diverse landscapes on Earth.

.....cont You can just see the nests hanging in the tree. The river behind is the Javari/ Yavari river that borders Brazil & Peru. I plan to continue on the Peruvian side to Iquitos.

These Oropendola bird nests are a frequent sight hanging high in the treetops here. Their song is incredible. I managed to record a bit..... See photo.
