We are located 100 m 300ft away from Amazon River Garcinia madruno (charichuelo) is a fruit-producing tree species from Central and South America.[1] The fruit looks like a shriveled droopy lemon, and has a similar rind. The interior is soft white pulp and has a slight citrus taste people have compared to a sweet santol fruit or lemony cotton candy. The species was formerly included in the genus Rheedia, which has since been absorbed into Garcinia, as Rheedias species are now known as “new world mangosteens”. The fruit is not very well known outside of South America and a few backyard growers in South Florida. It is closely related to other edible tropical fruits such as purple mangosteen and button mangosteen.
The Herbs of South America are a little more mysterious to some than Chinese, according to David Wolfe he has found a tribe down there who’s knowledge is as extensive as the Chinese Daoist and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)… We go over a few of the basics: Pau D’Arco, Cats Claw, Catuaba, Muira Puama, Suma, Maca…. Chris is with Amazon Herb company and they have a very awesome extraction process and are a very sustainable company… Many of these herbs are very immune enhancing because these plant themselves most acquire their own powerfull immune just to survive in the Amazon Rainforest… all these herbs are considered tonics in the Chinese traditional definition of “tonic” The Pau D’Arco and Cats Claw are adaptogenic double direction with the immune system meaning meaning they speed up or slow down the immune system….. and for some people they need it slow down because of a tendency to “Auto-Immune” Unlike China the Amazon is very pristine and virgin, so the potential for pollution in NIL…….
HighRoller ( www.highrollerlures.com ) began as a core largemouth and smallmouth bass manufacturer. Due to our success in the inland saltwater flats, specifically Redfish, Snook and Trout, all of our lures come standard with stainless steel hardware and razor sharp saltwater ready hooks. The Monster RipRoller has become the standard in South America for the ill-tempered, lure crunching Peacock Bass. Last year 26+lb Peacock Bass were caught in Brazil using the Monster RipRoller. The stainless steel prop on the Monster RipRoller was developed internally and is another example of our desire to produce the best performing lures in the industry.
The Amazon is sparkling with enough action, intrigue, suspense, violence, and passion that brings you deep into the savage jungles of South America. The path leading to the riches of gold and diamonds is treacherous to the visitor and native alike. Many groups of fortune seekers have met a bloody death in pursuit of their dreams.
The anaconda, the largest snake in the world, lives in the Amazon River Basin and other parts of South America. A very adept swimmer, it hunts its meals in the water using the cover of tangled roots to sneak up on its prey. It wraps its long, powerful body around its victim and either crushes it or suffocates it to death. In this short film, Ocean Adventures team members Celine Cousteau and Richard Murphy get up close and personal with this legend, in the two-hour program, Return to the Amazon, part of the series Jean-Michel Cousteau Ocean Adventures, shown on PBS.
