I'M a fund-raiser, get me out of here! - a county charity group might yell from the depths of the Amazon Rainforest.

Adventurers raising money for the Acorns Three Counties Appeal will set up a celebrity-style jungle camp on a journey to the foot of the Andes next February.

Organisers challenge fund-raisers to spend nine days in the Amazon.

"Local guides and skilled boatmen will take you to explore the Rio Napo region on foot and by canoe.

"Adventurers will travel by jungle craft on little known lakes and a network of rivers as well as walking through the dense jungle," said Acorns' Emily Henton.

There will also be chance for a night time ramble. A nocturnal wildlife hunt could bring explorers face to face with some of the Amazon's 125 different kinds of mammals, 160 reptiles and amphibians and 400 varieties of birds.

Anyone wanting to take part needs to pay a non-refundable deposit of £259, then raise £2,500, with support from Acorns.
