Disappearing in the Amazon rainforest looking for the Lost City of Z in the 1920s is a bold look. Let's see if it works out for him. In this episode we encounter the disappearance of an explorer, forced labor on rubber plantations, the death of a pack animal, hostile neighbors, and the disappearance of an explorer. Questions answered: Has anyone ever disappeared in the Amazon? What explorer disappeared into the Amazon rainforest? Do people live in the Amazon rainforest? Where does rubber come from? How was the Amazon rainforest mapped? Who was Percy Fawcett? What was the Lost City of Z?
