SYNOPSIS 

Auyan Tepui... The highest table mountain in the Amazon... Indians believe that demons live on the top of it... Becko Ondrejovič managed the first complete traverse. He was so fascinated with its vertical lines that he decided to come back with his friends, so that they could climb up this totally virgin wall. Amazonia vertical is a film that presents the power of nature and adventurous discovery of a lost world. A film, which will affect the emotions in all of us...
