Jau National Park, Amazonia

What do you imagine the Amazon river basin is like? Whatever your image, it's certain to be incomplete. Amazonia is so big, and so remote, that even those who live there or study it know only a small portion of what is there. I am a journalist from Brazil, and I'd like to show you one place I have investigated: Jau National Park, in my home country. The Jau River is a tributary of the Amazon, and this park was created just 20 years ago. It's an amazing place. Come on, I'll show you.
