Walking the Amazon

The tale of Ed Stafford's 2.5-year odyssey towards becoming the first person to trek across the entirety of the mighty Amazon River.

Veteran Ed Stafford (33) traverses the entirety of the mighty Amazon from its Andean springs to its Atlantic mouth, despite facing numerous challenges including wildlife, people, and indigenous tribes. Despite Lyle Collier's initial disappointment, Ed soldiered on, even after his Indian guide Ozwaldo deserted in a dangerous zone. After recovering from serious health issues in a jungle infirmary, Ed suffered another two and a half years of hardship.
