i'm looking to visit the amazon for the first time. my focus will be on wildlife, birds and the forest itself rather than river tours. have done some research and it seems like peru might be the best place to see it.
has anyone done the amazon? any advice? anyone gone to tambopata?
in 2014 and 2016 i went on safari to kenya and tanzania and it was incredible, got some great shots with my basic nikon and a cheap long lens. this time, unfortunately, i will be flying solo as my friends are in europe while I now work out of miami. makes more sense to go somewhere new than spend money flying back to see them.
cheers /trv/

Most have it has been cut down for lumber and burned for cattle feed lots.
The bit that remains is in one of Brazil's poorest states, idiots in Rio genuinely believe that dinosaurs currently live there.
