Daniel, a Swiss man with Brazilian roots, navigates the Amazon aboard his 33-ton sailing vessel, the Arani. He dreams of adventure, of myths—and of a project to bring hope to the Ribeirinhos, the people living along the river. But what begins as an expedition quickly transforms into a nightmare.
After being ambushed by illegal gold miners—the brutal Garimpeiros—Daniel is abducted deep into the jungle. Narrowly escaping death, he wanders half-starved through the green hell for days until a young indigenous man finds and saves him. But the Garimpeiros will not rest: Daniel knows too much, and the hunt for him has only just begun.
Between the destructive whirlpools of the Pororoca, which toss his sailboat like a toy, and facing pirates, drug cartels, and the merciless wilderness, Daniel fights for his life—and discovers something he never sought: true love.
"An adventure thriller that begins where civilization ends. At the border between truth and fiction, human greed, the forces of nature, and tropical madness collide. A story of hope and myths, of blood and water—and of a man who survived the Amazon and found himself in the process."
“Discover Brazil’s natural wonders – the Amazon, the world’s largest rainforest river; the Lençóis Maranhenses with their endless white dunes and turquoise lagoons; and the southern region of Bahia with the impressive Abrolhos Marine National Park. An unforgettable adventure awaits you!”
