8 participants, 5000 kilometres across the Amazon, from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Made short, that is the Amazon5000 mission that the Kichwa, Timoteo Gualinga, undertook in 2012 and which he describes to us on these pages. Led by an ex-officer suffering from cancer, the troop fights their way through the evergreen, dangerous jungle, almost drowns in a swamp, gets abducted by a capitalist-oriented Indigenous tribe and finally falls into the hands of drug-trafficking pirates on the Amazon. With original photos.
