A man swam across the entire length of the Amazon in 66 days by consuming two bottles of wine a day.

The 55-year-old swimmer, who became the greatest endurance swimmer in the world after he completed 3,274 miles, swimming 10 hours a day for 66 days, said that he was determined to swim across the world's most dangerous river or die trying, the Mirror reported.

A film has been made on Martin Strel's astonishing story of courage and determination called 'Big River Man' which will be releasing soon.
