In this extraordinary true story of adventure and survival, follow Alycin Hayes in Amazon Hitchhiker on her harrowing journey as she hitchhikes alone from Canada south into the rivers and mystical rainforests of the wild Amazon Basin.

Pursuing her dream, she travels solo in the 1970's across the USA, Mexico and Central America to South America where she buys an old dugout canoe thinking she can paddle from Colombia to Brazil on the Amazon River.

Without enough food or even a map, she soon discovers the Amazon rainforest is not the idyllic paradise she imagined. Undaunted, she forges her way through this challenging trip, facing life-threatening obstacles, while falling in love along the way.

With candid honesty and a lifesaving sense of humor, Hayes has written an account of her travels you won't be able to put down.
