Going to the Upper Amazon

by Robert B. Yonaitis

This book recounts a journey upon the upper Amazon River and its tributaries filled with flooded villages, exotic animals, birds and people. Join the author as he recounts the day by day occurrences of this adventure. Going to the Amazon is something that most people will never have an opportunity to do in their lives; however this book takes you on an adventure far beyond the one you might have imagined. Join the author as he takes you on a journey far along the river and deep into the lush and sometimes dangerous depths of the amazon forest. Filled with exotic animals, lies a forest that spends much of every year underwater. You will meet the indigenous people who spend their lives working, playing and living in a world where their lives and homes are quite literally surrounded by water. The natives canoe from house to house and children learn how to swim and paddle before they even learn to walk. See the simple beauty that is sometimes too lovely for even a camera to do it justice. This is a book you will not put down from beginning to end. Watch some supplementary videos to the book at and 100's of photos at
