Sacha Sacha Lodge, Ecuador

Explorer Bruce Parry took an epic journey down the Amazon as part of his BBC Two series, to discover the stories of the people who live along the world's greatest river.

A small film crew, shared his experiences along the way, documenting Bruce's breathtaking voyage from the disputed source in the Peruvian Andes to the Atlantic coast of Brazil.

You can also see Bruce in action on his website - footage, images and blogs were sent back by Bruce and the team in the field, and updated regularly.
