Three months in the unexplored Amazon: A world-first expedition with Pip Stewart

Author and journalist Pip Stewart completed a world-first expedition through the depths of the Amazon jungle in 2018.  She followed the Essequibo River in Guyana from source to sea, taking three months in total. 

Pip hiked, kayaked and hacked her way through the dense, unexplored wilderness along with two friends and five members of the Wai Wai indigenous community.  They went through with this expedition knowing that if they got into trouble, there was no guarantee that help could reach them. 

Pip faced deadly snakes, jaguars - and worst of all a flesh-eating parasite, which she provides all of the gory details of. 

Find out what this adventure taught Pip about life and travel as she immersed herself in the natural world - and what her first meal was after weeks of foraging for food.

Pip reflects on her epic adventure and what it taught her about life, travel, and finding a new level of respect for the natural world in her book: Life Lessons from the Amazon., out now.
