Walking the Amazon by Ed Stafford
In April 2008, Ed Stafford began his attempt to become the first man ever to walk the entire length of the River Amazon.
Walking from the Pacific, over the Andes and along the entire length of the Amazon to the Atlantic is truly extraordinary.. To do all this in more than 800 continuous days with just a backpack puts Stafford's endeavour in the top league of expeditions past and present. -- Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE

Ed Stafford started running expeditions after retiring from the British Army as a captain in 2002 and has led expeditions all over the world. Whilst not leading trips, Ed worked alongside the United Nations in Afghanistan assisting with the running of their first-ever presidential elections. Prior to this journey Ed was in production with the BBC on their conservation series Lost Land of the Jaguar. In August 2010, Ed became the first man to walk the length of the River Amazon, accompanied by forestry worker Gadiel 'Cho' Sanchez Rivera for all but four months of the 28-month journey.
