Dr. James L. Castner, researcher and photographer, has combined his expertise and knowledge obtained from over 50 trips to the rainforest and facilities of Explorama Lodges to write and illustrate Explorama’s Amazon. Information about the forest, its flora and fauna, the local and indigenous peoples, and the Explorama facilities themselves are provided in an easy to read manner. In addition, historical information about the city of Iquitos and the origins of Explorama Tours is provided. More than 160 color photos grace the large-format pages of what many readers will consider a coffee-table book. Many of the photographs, such as aerials of the different lodges and canopy walkway, as well as close-ups of the plants and insects, could only be obtained under special circumstances and with elaborate equipment. By documenting the excursions and answering the most frequently asked questions of Explorama visitors, Dr. Castner has freed guests from note-taking and picture-making, to more fully enjoy their surroundings and experience.
