Join world-renowned National Geographic Explorer and photographer Thomas Peschak for a stunning visual journey through the Amazon River Basin.

In Amazon: Andes to the Atlantic, Peschak shares breathtaking images and stories from his 396-day expedition tracing the Amazon from the glaciers of the Andes Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, he documented remote ecosystems, rare wildlife, and little-seen underwater worlds that reveal the Amazon’s extraordinary biodiversity.

A former marine biologist turned photographer, Peschak has spent more than two decades documenting wildlife and conservation stories for National Geographic magazine, earning 18 Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards and seven World Press Photo Awards. His Amazon project—part of the National Geographic Society and Rolex Perpetual Planet Amazon Expedition—made him only the second photographer in the magazine’s 136-year history to photograph an entire issue.

Through powerful photography and firsthand stories, this presentation offers a rare look at one of the most vital ecosystems on Earth.
