Amazon Rainforest

The Amazon Rainforest stretches across the South American continent, spanning multiple countries including Brazil, Peru, and Colombia, and is the world's most vast tropical rainforest. It is home to an extremely rich variety of species; from jaguars, pink river dolphins, and macaws to giant otters, countless animals thrive between the dense forests and rivers.

Upon arriving in the rainforest, one of the signature experiences is seeing the meeting of waters—the dark Rio Negro and the yellowish-brown Solimões River flow side-by-side here for several km without mixing, forming a distinct natural view. Taking a boat to the confluence, you can also encounter wild pink river dolphins on the river; these freshwater dolphins often curiously approach boats. The rainforest waters are also home to the Amazon water lily, whose massive, circular leaves can support the weight of a child. Venturing deep into the interior, you can paddle a canoe through the waterways of the Anavilhanas Archipelago to explore the flooded forest view; you can also hike through the jungle to identify various tropical plants and listen to the calls of birds and insects. At night, taking a small boat to look for the reflective eyes of caimans or fishing for piranhas are unique wild experiences in the rainforest. Visiting residents along the river to learn about their lifestyles and traditions of coexisting with the forest adds cultural depth to this nature trip.
