Gaetan RiouGood luck Ben, and can I get cup of tea instead of cofee ? or even better a beer :)11y
Donna SpandrioIt is devastating to think that an ecosystem that has developed and thrived for so long could simply and with not a second thought be destroyed in days. If there were more people like you in the world, it would be a better place. Good luck11y

You made my day. 1 Day of my epic journey, dedicated to you. To raise funds for this issue I am completing a 60+ day self-powered journey from sea to source to jungle. See paddlingwithpurpose.com I will dedicate one of these days to you, and take one picture with you in mind. This photo will be sent to you as a postcard, and may include a message from me on the back.

A Large One of a Kind Cairn built on the slopes of Yerupajá, at least 4500m in altitude. Overlooking the upper reaches of the Marañón Valley, this structure will be pummeled with snow and ice, which will eventually escape from the mouth of the Amazon into the Atlantic Ocean. It will remain as a tribute to your awesome generosity. -A postcard photo of the Cairn sent to you. With an account of the beautiful/arduous/? day that was experienced in the process of building it.

Name My Van. The trusty steed that I will buy to get me around South America. Many people will come to know and love it. My heart is set on a 1000cc Suzuki Carry, possibly the worlds smallest Van. Maximising the Space/Fuel Consumption Ratio, this is travelling in true style. Major benefits include low top speed ( CANNOT get into a hurry &will; enjoy scenery more), and low roof for loading boats. A Name is extremely important. With great power, comes great responsibility.
