You mean without a guide or just without a traveling companion? I probably wouldn't go without a guide, but if nobody wanted to go with me, I'd join a tour group and go by myself.

yes in a tour group is ok^^ and with a tour guide they know the safe places to go^^ but if you visit amazon you have to go in a boat up in the river and there is lots of crocodiles. imagine one or many ones go against the boat and the boat turns into water? then noone could save you. those places are too dangerous so i rather dont visit that ever^^ thanks for your answer^^

I don't have that courage either. I have seen many many pictures, videos, movies, and so on about the Amazon rain forests. Very amazing of course, but , as you are say, I feel it would be very dangerous to travel there alone. I like to see the forests, but I wouldn't take the risks about the dangers. Those who explore the region are really admirable.

yes is true^^ they are very brave^^ or are from those tribes there that they had to learn how to live there and know how to haunt animals there and be safe^^ anyway is good that you like forests and maybe you can visit amazon forest with a tour guide^^ they dont go to dangerous places^^ but still i was afraid to go on those little boats up in the river. the river is full of crocodiles and one of them could turn the boat and noone would be safe^^ i rather dont visit that ever^^ thanks for your answer^^

I'm not sure I'd go there with a group of expedition experts, let alone by myself. There are caimans, jaguars, cougars, giant snakes (like anacondas/boa constrictors), electric eels (which produce electric shocks that can stun/kill), piranhas, poison dart frogs. You can also get Malaria, Yellow fever or Dengue fever, as well as uncountable diseases and parasites. Oh, and rabies. From vampire bats. Vampire. Bats.

I wouldn't go alone. And I wouldn't go unprepared. In the jungle, animals would be the least of my worries. I would be more worried about all of the exotic bugs. I think that would cause more harm to me than any animal in the jungle could.

aw yes the bugs yuuu i didnt even remember the bugs^^ yes is very dangerous some bugs and also if you get hurt by a fly there that put people to sleep forever. you never wake up again. there is a fly in brazil that does that to people. also those ants that eat people. many dangerous things^^ anyway never go alone and also with company or we could both die. better to visit other places ahah beautiful and secure ones^^ thanks for your answer^^
