In 1896 a young housewife from Hackney made a remarkable journey into the Amazon jungle. Lizzie Hessel survived appalling conditions on her way to the remote
Bolivian location where her husband was to manage a rubber estate. The adventure-packed 4,000-mile voyage took 13 months and Lizzie became the first European woman to travel so far up the Amazon. Maria Aitken follows in her footsteps and finds the journey no less challenging, as she treks through some of the wildest country on earth to the spot where Lizzie lived.
