Journey from the banks of a prolific gold bearing river named Hell to a century-old, last will and testament whose riddle led the Catholic Church and British and Colombian explorers to an uncharted area of Ecuador in a futile search for high-grade emeralds. EXPEDITIONS propels you on a thrilling journey into Lee Elders search for this treasure and the world of the Untsuri Shuara, the headhunters of the Western Amazon. In the mid-sixties, the adventure of discovery was the enticement that drew Lee to this wild lawless land; the super natural world of the Shuara that live in a mystical realm of ayahuasca-induced visions where the ethereal world is encased within our third dimensional reality. Lees search for the Green Fire spanned years that were filled with insurmountable odds. Unpredictable weather, raging rivers, precarious jungle trails and dangerous predators proved formidable opponents, but those and other perilous obstacles didnt deter him. However strange or incredible some of the incidents may seem this is a true story.
