Follow the Amazon River on a 4,000 mile journey from its source in the high Andes, through the rainforest, and into the majestic Amazon basin. Filmed entirely in IMAX, footage of enigmatic Machu Picchu, river rapids and waterfalls, stunning wildlife, and cultural customs helped AMAZON earn an Academy-Award® nomination for Best Documentary / Short Subject Film (1997). Never before seen in San Diego, AMAZON makes its debut on October 1 and you can be one of the first to see the film on San Diego's only 76-foot Dome Screen!
