A vast expanse of verdant foliage spanning across nine countries in South America (occupying much of Brazil and Peru, and also parts of Guyana, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Suriname, French Guiana, and Venezuela), the Amazon River Basin is the world’s largest drainage system. Often referred to as the ‘lungs of the planet’, this region supports the world’s largest rainforest, which accounts for more than half the total volume of rainforests in the world and plays a crucial role in regulating global climate, absorbing massive amounts of carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.
Far more than an ecological marvel, the Amazon Rainforest is a place of legendary allure. For those seeking adventure and natural beauty, the Amazon offers an unparalleled experience, with its towering trees, elusive wildlife, and majestic river. Boasting an array of unique and truly unforgettable experiences, from canoeing through flooded forests to relaxing on a riverboat and being awakened by the haunting calls of howler monkeys, the Amazon’s true magic lies in its intricate details and hidden wonders.
