I realize you posted this quite a while ago, but I'm just catching up! I went to the Amazon Jungle in Peru and the Galapagos Islands in Equador last winter. It was wonderful!! Sadly, even in the middle of the jungle, I saw evidence of phosphate scum on a tributary into the Amazon River and I pulled plastic bottles out of the river.
Next year I plan on going to the Amazon in Colombia.
