How to get there yourself!:
I coordinated the travel with Rainforest Expeditions
Tell them Destin sent you.
You can checkout what they do on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Rainforest.Expeditions
They ran me up and down the river in a boat, gave me lenses, a clean bed, awesome food etc. It was pretty amazing!

Jeff Cremer was my hook-up for all things photography once I got on site. He's very good at technical photography and is more than capable of handling anything you can throw at him. Check out his chops and tell him Destin sent you:

I make videos to raise money for my kids' college education. I have 3 kids and plan on spending the next 10 years contributing to the public body of knowledge and helping you learn! If you'd like to give back via a microscholarship, click here: http://bit.ly/KidsCollege
Instead of saving for my kids' college, I make videos using the money I would have saved.
The thought is it will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for their education. Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please share the video. If you REALLY liked it, feel free to pitch a few dollars towards their college fund by clicking here:
Warm Regards,
Destin
