Episode 3
In the third and final episode, Robson explores the breath-takingly beautiful Anavilhanas Archipelago in his canoe. An intricate pattern of tiny islands and lagoons, it's a truly magical place, and Robson is bowled over to see a white breasted hawk amongst egrets, parrots and herons.
Robson Green is a maestro of fishing, but the one technique he has never quite mastered is bow and arrow fishing. His indigenous guide, however, has archery in his blood. The competition is on - will Robson finally conquer this highly skilled technique under the watchful eye of a real expert?
Later, armed with torches, Saru and Robson go in search of one of the Amazon's most impressive predators. Guided by reflections of gleaming eyes on the riverbanks, they get up close with baby caiman that can grow up to 16 feet in length.
The Amazon has been suffering the worst drought in over 120 years, Saru takes Robson to meet a family living at a floating village to show how the low river levels affect the lives of those who depend on it.
After a sad farewell to Saru and buoyed by what has been an utterly epic river experience, Robson heads back to the capital city of Manaus where he's up with the birds – quite literally. As the sun comes up over the city, Robson is joined by an American ornithologist at an observation deck towering over the rainforest that surrounds Manaus. The Amazon is home to over 2000 species of birds, and Dr Mario knows exactly how to call them in.
The Amazon's pink dolphins hold a mythical place in the beliefs of indigenous communities, and Robson goes to meet a biologist who has long been enthralled by the mystical pink dolphin. They locate a group of dolphins and Vera shares her hopes and fears for the future of these incredible animals.
Finally, Robson has the honour of an invitation to spend time with an indigenous tribe. The Tuyuka tribe welcome him with a feast of cassava stew before painting his body using ink made from the Jenipapo fruit. Donned with feathers and traditional body art, he joins them as they dance together – it's a fitting end to his Amazonian adventure.
The sheer magnitude of the rainforest and the plethora of astounding animals, powerful plants and resourceful humans that call it home, leave an indelible mark on Robson. This is one journey he will never forget.
