Walking the Jungle
An Adventurer's Guide to the Amazon
More beautiful than most wild places, the jungle is also more dangerous, and the jungle of the Amazon, John Coningham's home for over thirty years, sports hazards to make all travelers hesitate. Here you'll meet tocandira stinging ants, killer Hylesia caterpillars, deadly surucucu vipers, skin-crawling bicho worms, dog-eating giant otters, and many more creatures that await the unwary. Most important, you will learn how to travel at ease in the jungle, armed with the knowledge that only a long-time resident of these areas can impart.
By turns anecdotal and practical, Walking the Jungle tells tales of the jungle and most of its dark secrets. Armchair travelers and true Indiana Joneses will benefit equally from Coningham's unique expertise on life in one of the most dangerous natural habitats on earth.
