Brazil; Kendjam Trip Report – August 2015

Since visiting Tsimane in Bolivia in its early days, Steffan couldn’t imagine finding another untouched destination with incredible fishing. 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.
