Walking the Jungle: An Adventure's Guide to the Amazon

Rating:
Summary: Culture/ Environment Shock Amazon
Review: A wonderful guide full of practical hints for travel in the Amazon, the Pantanal and the Neotropics in general. John Coningham is an experienced guide, wonderful naturalist, ex-soldier, firearms expert, horseman, boatman, etc., etc. and this book is the next best thing to going to the Pantanal and talking to him, While he has a wonderful knowledge of the flora and fauna of Brazil, this book is neither your typical natural history guide nor armchair adventure tale. Instead it tells you all of the things that you wished you knew before you
left and will answer many questions that you have upon return. It is really designed to accompany someone on a trip into the less-travelled areas of Brazil but will be fascinating to anyone interested in travel, the wilderness or natural history.
Highly recommended.
