ARCAmazon - Rio del Piedras - Madre de Dios - Peru ... Part 8 - Camp 1 Teil
22. 04. - 30.04. 2016
Mein Kindheitstraum hat sich erfüllt. Ich wäre gerne viel länger dort geblieben. Bis um nächsten mal.
Erinnerungen an eine wunderbare und unvergessene Zeit im Camp von ARCAmazon. Fern ab von den touristischen Zentren. Regenwald pur. Jungfräulicher Dschungel.
Das Camp ARCAmazon ist sehr interessant für Biologen, Zoologen, Botaniker. Für wissenschaftliche Arbeiten, Dissertationen. Aber auch für Touristen, die den realen Dschungel kennen lernen möchten.
My childhood dream has come true. I would have loved to stay there much longer. Up to next time.
Memories of a wonderful and unforgettable time at the camp of ARCAmazon. Far away from the tourist centers. Rainforest pure. Unspoilt Jungle.
The camp ARCAmazon is very interesting for biologists, zoologists, botanists. For research papers, dissertations. But also for tourists, who want to experience the real jungle.

*TRAILER* Kendjam - Heart of the Amazon by Todd Moen
“Kendjam- Heart of the Amazon” is a 15-minute film featured in the 64th edition of Catch Magazine. Catch Magazine is the online journal illustrating the world’s best fly fishing photography and film. The making of “Kendjam” took filmmaker Todd Moen and his angler deep into the Brazilian Amazon to meet a special group of people, the Kayapó Indigenous Community, and to document the fly fishing in this part of the Amazon.
More than 500 miles by plane from Manaus, Brazil, the Kayapó Indigenous Community lives in the Kendjam Village on the banks of the Iriri River, a tributary of the “emerald clear” Xingu River Basin. Located inside the 20 million square miles of Amazon forest, the Mekrangnoti Indigenous Territory is designated an Ecological Reserve and is the most isolated region in the Brazilian Amazon.
Together with Untamed Angling, the Kayapó people are preserving both their cultural legacy and the legacy of their rainforest. In a time when logging, mining, and politicians have heavy influence on the future of Brazil’s jungles, it’s important to take a step closer and look at the people who live in those important contested areas. The Kayapó people, known as warriors and fierce guardians of their homeland, have made a name for themselves- their voice is being heard worldwide. The purpose of this film is to honor their unique cooperation with the fly fishing industry. In addition, “Kendjam” documents a fly fishing adventure from the perspective of an American angler. Thank you first to the Kayapó Indigenous people in the Kendjam Village, the river guides and warriors who shared their culture and led the camera into some wild and remote adventures. Thank you also to Untamed Angling’s Rodrigo Salles and guides Andre Vergara and Raphael Costa, the true conduits of this phenomenal project. And thanks to Orvis Rod & Tackle and Bauer Fly Reels for generous support to make these films possible.

Fauna Forever - Cutest Mouse opossum eating bananas in the Peruvian Amazon
The real cute animals in the lowland rainforest of Peru are surely the furry, bug-eyed Mouse opossums, as our team of wildlife volunteers and interns are finding out here. They can easily get into the lodges and research station buildings that we use, so keeping your food safely locked away in the tupperware box is highly recommended.
