Reisgids Bradt guide The Amazon

De naam zegt het al; deze gids behandeld het Amazone gebied. Niet alleen in Brazilie, maar ook veel landen er om heen. Je kunt hem gebruiken als reisgids, maar de nadruk ligt natuurlijk op de unieke flora en fauna. Bedenk dat het geen echte veldgids is, maar een uiterst prettige reisgids. Engelstalig.

This new edition has been completely revised with updated information on hotels, lodges and tour operators. It contains a detailed and illustrated natural history section on native species and habitats. The Amazon is an ideal location for eco-travellers, naturalists, sports enthusiasts and explorers. Travellers are given sound advice on responsible travel and planning their own expedition.

Author's Note, by Roger Harris and Peter Hutchison
"To travel the Amazon from source to delta is the dream of many: one of the world’s great journeys. Others may prefer to strike out into the rainforest, or to explore countries on the outer edges of the Amazon Basin. Those in search of rainforests and wildlife should also consider visiting the pristine jungles of Guyana, French Guiana and Suriname, which, although they lie just beyond the watershed, offer some of the region’s least disturbed and most inaccessible rainforest.

Whatever style of trip you plan – whether a one-week riverboat trip or an extensive multi-country tour of the region – your experience will be unique. If you’re lucky you may see some of Amazonia’s elusive wildlife; more realistically you will come away with just some idea of the sheer scale of the Amazon and the region through which it flows. Whatever your reasons for choosing to visit there is certain to be an occasion when you stand in the rainforest or on your riverboat, mouth agape in disbelief. In Brazil they say ‘Opa’ – loosely translated as ‘Wow!’"
