When the offer came to visit a new destination in the Brazilian jungle called Kendjam on the Iriri River, it was with anticipation that he headed back to the Amazon. On arrival memories of Tsimane came back to him and a real adventure ensued.
For a group of hardcore enthusiasts the Iriri River is not a new name, it had experienced several trips a number of years prior to Kendjam. In that time it reached an almost mythological fishing status before becoming inaccessible. Read all about Steffan’s voyage of discovery.
