The Amazon Rainforest is a humid broadleaf forest that covers the Amazon Basin in South America. The Amazon Rainforest is representative of half of the world’s remaining forested terrain and most of it (60%) is in Brazil with the remainder shared between Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Guyana, Ecuador, French Guiana and Suriname. The Amazon Rainforest is the most expansive varied tropical rain forest in the world. The best way to explore this part of the Amazon Rainforest is aboard a river boat or overnight in the lodges, luckily the waters of Negro river are home to fewer mosquitoes than other areas. Birdlife is here in abundance, owls, parrots and hummingbirds as well as a variety of antbirds to name a few. You might also come across pink dolphins, manatees and caiman.
