You can't go to the Amazon River and not do a Jungle Adventure or 2 so we did 2!!
Firstly we were lucky enough to meet a lovely fellow, Brian Landever who has built a small haven in the jungle called Nature's Hospital and there is a resident Sharman there and they are into medicinal plants....he was taking some scientists and professors out there to see it so we went along. One of the other visitors was Dennis McKenna who with his brother has been into this for many years, Bill who is head of Pharmacology at a NY university and Manuel who studies the use of medicinal plants for cancer and another disease so this made for a very interesting time.
