Nearly two and a half years later, he had crossed the whole of South America to reach the mouth of the colossal river.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith danger a constant companion - outwitting alligators, jaguars, pit vipers and electric eels, not to mention overcoming the hurdles of injuries and relentless tropical storms - Ed's journey demanded extreme physical and mental strength. Often warned by natives that he would die, Ed even found himself pursued by machete-wielding tribesmen and detained for murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, Ed's journey was an adventure with a purpose: to help raise people's awareness of environmental issues.
