Amazon

Amazon Rainforest- the great Amazonia rainforest constitutes a vast ecosystem in which plants and animals of almost unbelievable diversity are interlinked in a complex network of ecological relatioship. There are three main types of Amazon forest:
The unflooded is characterized by sparse undergrowth and very tall trees that form a high canopy. The "Igapos" occasionally flooded forests, have a dense swampland vegetation consisting mainly of bushlike plants, palms, and ferns. The" Varzea", or flood plain, and the river are inhabited by 3,000 species of fish such as piranhas, tucunare, pirarucu, and aquatic mammals such as manatees and river dolphins.
There are many ways to visit the jungle. It is possible to arrange anything from an excursion of few hours or a short stay at a comfortable jungle lodge to trip of up to several weeks using more basic accommodations, camping in the jungle, or sleeping on hammocks by river boats. Standard activities on trips with at least one overnight stay include piranha fishing, walking in the jungle, visiting the local village, and night time alligator-catching. You'll probably see dolphins along the way and witness abundant waterside bird life.
