In 1995, wildlife photographer Stephen Kirkpatrick joined a five-man expedition headed into the jungles of the Peruvian Amazon. Within hours of their departure, a series of bad decisions left the group hopelessly lost in the depths of the jungle. What began as a photo expedition became a struggle for survival.

Wildlife photographer Stephen Kirkpatrick chronicles the experiences he had while on an expedition to document the Amazon rain forest, where he and his team became lost in the jungle and had to battle aggressive wildlife, venomous reptiles, brutal heat, torrential rains, and an unforgiving landscape.
