Travel to Amazon
In 1981, after completing his service in the Israeli Navy, Ghinsberg, inspired by a book by Papillon by Henri CharriÃÆ'¨re, detailing the author's own experience as an escaped convict, became determined to find the CharriÃÆ'¨re. and asked his blessing to follow in his footsteps. Ghinsberg had returned from a trip from Africa to Mexico and missed the immersion experience of the rainforest. Ghinsberg worked several jobs to save money on a trip to South America and dreamed of exploring the heart of the uninhabited Amazon jungle. Ghinsberg was finally able to travel to South America, but by then CharriÃÆ'¨re had died, and the Ghinsberg tribes were interested in finding him civilized. He rode from Venezuela to Colombia, where he met Marcus Stamm, a Swiss teacher, in the midst of his expedition, and the two became good friends and traveled together to La Paz, Bolivia. When Ghinsberg was in La Paz, he met Karl Ruprechter, a mysterious Austrian who claimed to be a geologist. Ruprechter told Ghinsberg that he was planning an expedition to an uncharted Amazon in Bolivia to seek gold in a remote indigenous village, a small village. Ghinsberg, looking for an opportunity to explore the unexplored areas of the Amazon, soon joined Ruprechter on his journey, along with two new acquaintances Ghinsberg, Marcus Stamm, and Kevin Gale, an American photographer. Four of them, never had prior contact with each other, investigated Bolivia's adventure for gold.
The 21-year-old Yossi Ghinsberg and his two friends follow Ruprechter by plane to Apolo, and from there go to the Tuichi River to a local village called Asariamas at the confluence of the Tuichi-Asariamas river. There they replenish their food and supplies. Then, according to Karl's story of himself visiting a very ancient and primitive ancient village hidden deep in the rainforest - populated by primitive people who have seen very few white people in their lives - they started climbing the Asariamas River and crossing the deep mountains travel there. Finally, because the supplies are low, they have to eat the monkeys; Stamm refuses to eat monkeys and inevitably grows physically weaker. With this condition, they decided not to continue their journey and return to Asariamas.
Returning to Asariamas, Karl told them of his new plan: Sailing on a raft on the Tuichi River to a small gold mine called 'Curiplaya' at the bottom of the river, and from there along the river to reach Rurrenabaque near the Beni River and back to La Paz. With the help of the villagers, they build a raft and begin their new journey downstream and arrive at the confluence of the Tuichi-Ipurama river. Ruprechter suddenly told them about San Pedro Canyon - a series of dangerous rapids, waterfalls and boulders not suited for any boating activity - and Ruprechter refused to continue the journey along with the fact that he could not swim. Their lies and betrayals caused unbelief in the group and ended with their separation. Gale and Ghinsberg decided to continue rafting downstream to Rurrenbaque, while Ruprechter and Stamm decided to walk over the Ipurama River to the village of Ipurama near the source of the river and return from there to Apolo. The four men decided to meet again before Christmas in La Paz.
When the Ghinsberg and Gale rafts approach the waterfall, they lose control and separate. Gale manages to reach the shore but Ghinsberg drifts downstream and passes through the waterfall. Ghinsberg spent four days journeying upstream to find Gale and finally realized that he was stranded alone in the forest, though believed it was an adventure he wanted at first. Gale was rescued by local fishermen after being stranded for five days, and when returning to civilization in La Paz had visited the Israeli and Austrian consuls for their help in preparing a rescue mission for his friends. Surprisingly, at the Austrian consulate, Gale was surprised to be informed by authorities that Ruprechter was actually a criminal and trouble-maker Austria sought by Interpol.
Ghinsberg spent the next three weeks lost and separated from his friends, without supplies and equipment, in an uncharted part of the Amazon. He survived completely alone in nature and was on the edge of his life as he was almost eaten alive by a beast and had a giant red ant running over and biting his body, as his body began to deteriorate. In the second week, there was a terrible flood in the area and Ghinsberg nearly drowned. He drowned in a hole twice. For the next five days, Ghinsberg did not eat anything, completely exhausted, and his legs began to rot away from the fungus. He sometimes finds fruit and fruit in the forest, searches for eggs from the nest, and even waits for a monkey to fall to eat, because that means life or death for Ghinsberg. According to Ghinsberg, he will have a hallucination of a woman with whom he sleeps every night when he is stranded, and does everything for him. Many times during his painful crusade, Ghinsberg lost hope and asked God for mercy to end his life to rest in peace. After hearing the sound of the engine, Ghinsberg returned to the nearest river and met Gale, along with the natives who had set up a search and rescue mission led by Abelardo 'Tico' Tudela. They found Ghinsberg three days in their search, three weeks after Ghinsberg was first declared missing, just as the search mission was about to surrender. After rescuing him, Ghinsberg spent the next three months recovering at the hospital.
Ruprechter and Stamm disappeared in the forest forever and were never found or heard again, despite the efforts of some rescue missions.
