Summary Bloodthirsty piranhas are said to be swarming here, tabletop-sized rays with poisonous back spines and tremor eels. Caimans and anacondas lurk in the murky water for their victims. We are at the upper reaches of the Amazon, in the dense Peruvian jungle of the Amazon rainforest. Until recently, humans played no significant role here, were still space for mysterious stories and legends. Only the call of the jungle gold, rubber, attracted thousands of adventurers and buccaneers, almost 4000 kilometres of torture through swamps and mangroves from the mouth of the longest river in the world to Iquitos, the city of the rubber barons. Here, deep in the rainforest, they still live, the "Ayahuasqueros", shamans, revered by local jungle dwellers as "miracle men". But also their time is running out, oil and ore deposits in the jungle have called an armada of western investors on the plan.
