"Church leaders determined to construct the temple after years of sacrifice by Latter-day Saints in the Amazon River Basin to reach the temple.
For almost 20 years, Church members from Manaus, a city isolated by major rivers and rainforests, have been traveling by caravan to attend the temple in Sao Paulo, Brazil — a 15-day round trip journey by boat and bus — and then Caracus, Venezuela — an eight-day journey by bus."
