Jonathan Rockoff writes about his trip to the Amazon for the South African Sunday Tribune:

“There are several ways to see the enormous expanse of the tropical rain forest: from the comfort of a luxury hotel to a rugged river cruise. We aimed for the ecotourism middle ground, with a lodge providing three meals a day and guided excursions into the wilderness.”
