Video Intro Thumbnail

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.
