Oasis

In the heart of the largest rainforest on Earth, an Oasis of life, light and inspiration. I am home now, but every night I still dream of the Amazon, the greatest and most threatened ecosystem in the world...

This is the magnificent Canaima National Park in Venezuela, one of the largest national parks on earth, covering 30,000 square km and a crown jewel in the UNESCO list of world heritage sites.

The red color in the water is due to tannins that leech into the river from the jungle.
