Jungle (also known as Amazon) was an Adventurers subtheme released in 1999. Like the other Adventurers themes, it lasted for only a year and showcased a wide variety of new pieces and minifigures. This sub-theme was the smallest of the Adventures sub-themes.
Plot[]
The Adventurers have headed to the jungle to find the ancient Sun Disc, a powerful artifact protected by the mysterious Achu. The Adventurers are also pitted against SeƱor Palomar and Rudo Villano, who are also attempting to find the disc for the art collector who hired them. Both factions strive to collect the treasures for different reasons: the Adventurers for historical preservation, and the other for fame and money.

Notes[]
- Jungle was the smallest Adventurers theme, and ran only in the year 1999. Dino Island and Orient Expedition also lasted for one year only, 2000 and 2003 respectively, but they had more sets.
- In LEGO Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge, various Jungle sets appear on Adventurers' Island.
- This the only Adventurers theme to not physically feature Lord Sam Sinister as a villain. However, SeƱor Palomar's LEGO.com profile confirms that he is working for Mr. Hates, who is the art collector mentioned in The Lost Temple - An Interactive Puzzle Book. Baron von Barron also appears as the boss of LEGO Racers Circuit 6, which features Amazon Adventure Alley instead of any Desert tracks.
- LEGO Racers features a track based on this theme called Amazon Adventure Alley. LEGO Racers 2 also features some of the jungle temple ruins as part of the Dino Island world.
