Martin Strel from Slovenia managed it in 2007 and it took him 66 days of approximately 10 hours each day. He suffered from multiple bites and stings to his face and had to wear full protective clothing due to the dangerous fish and animals that inhabit the Amazon. Anaconda's, piranha's and sharks to name just a few.
