Sali a bordo per un viaggio che collega i Caraibi con il selvaggio cuore del Sud America. Dalle rive baciate dal sole di Barbados e dall'eleganza coloniale olandese di Paramaribo alle inquietanti isole-prigione delle Îles du Salut e agli impervi corsi d'acqua del delta amazzonico, è un itinerario di straordinari contrasti — che si conclude a Belem, la leggendaria porta d'accesso al fiume più grande del mondo

Itinerario giorno per giorno

Due giorni nella soleggiata Bridgetown lasciano spazio alla grandiosità coloniale olandese di Paramaribo, prima di una giornata a terra sulle inquietanti Îles du Salut — dove la giungla ha ripreso le vecchie mura carcerarie. Entrando nell'Amazzonia da Macapa, il ritmo rallenta e la natura selvaggia si approfondisce: la Riserva Estrattiva del Rio Cajari, i canali serpeggianti del Furo do Cujubá, la città fluviale senza auto di Afuá e infine gli ipnotici Stretti di Breves, prima di giungere nelle magnifiche vie ombreggiate da manghi di Belem
