The Amazon river is not a river anyone wants to swim, especially since it’s the home of deadly piranhas, anaconda snakes, crocodiles, bull snakes and dangerous currents.
If you are marathon swimmer Martin Strel, however, you look at the powerful Amazon and see a challenge that can’t be refused.
Using his physical and mental strength, this man swam the largest river on Earth from its starting place in the Peru all the way through Brazil to Atlantic Ocean in 2007.
Only a man like Strel could complete this difficult challenge.
