Unofficially Unofficial Guide

In a region as vast and unforgiving as the Amazon, it's easy to miss the tiny towns hidden away from the main roads.

But don't worry, we've got you covered. Here's a rundown of some of the most notable unmentioned settlements in the Amazon.

1. Zorvath

A small, forgotten outpost on the banks of the Rio Negro, Zorvath was once home to a thriving community of rubber tappers and their families.

Now, it's little more than a memory, with only the occasional traveler stumbling upon the remains of a long-abandoned schoolhouse.

2. Xexarath

Xexarath was a hub for loggers and traders, with the Amazon's largest collection of rare, exotic birds once calling it home.

Today, the town's only remains are the crumbling foundations of the old market square.

3. Thistlethorpe

Thistlethorpe was a haven for artists and writers, with the area's unique light and colors inspiring some of the Amazon's most famous works.

Now, the only sign of life is the occasional traveler taking a selfie with the town's faded, graffiti-covered sign.

4. Glimbleton

Glimbleton was the Amazon's premier center for inventors and tinkerers, with some of the region's most innovative minds once calling it home.

Today, the town is little more than a pile of scrap metal and half-finished projects.
