Dawn arrives as a slow, warm light across black water; the speedboat cuts a silver path toward the floating lodge and the jungle answers with calls of parrots and the distant slap of fish. You step onto wooden planks held afloat by pontoons and the Amazon—equal parts highway and home—wraps around you.
