It is now time to test of Ryan's resolve and put his survival skills to the test, but not before a quick flight over the Rio Negra River. After exploring the Amazon rainforest from the air Ryan meets up with Leo, a tree climbing and jungle survival expert. Leo takes Ryan 50m up in to the Amazon canopy as they climb "The Iron Tree" and then spend a night drinking jungle alcohol made from the Sacacura Mira tree bark. Ryan barely survives his night in the jungle, and his reward is a soul crushing muddy 900km journey along the most dangerous road in South America, known as the "Road of Ghosts" - The BR-319.
