Robson's trip begins in Alter do Chão, a Caribbean-like paradise and the gateway to the rainforest. He finds himself taking a perilous and frankly terrifying route to the very top of the tree canopy.

Robson boards a traditional boat, his home for the next few days as he navigates the inky waters of the Rio Negro. His guide Saru gives him a tour of the boat before immersing him in the forest to learn some essential survival skills.

Robson explores the beautiful Anavilhanas Archipelago in his canoe. An intricate pattern of tiny islands and lagoons, it's a truly magical place, and Robson is bowled over to see a white breasted hawk among egrets, parrots and herons.
