Situated in northern Brazil, the Amazon basin includes more than seven million square kilometers of area.  This includes seven Brazilian states and nine countries of South America. This region is covered by the Amazon tropical forest and formed by the Amazon river that has more than a thousand tributaries; which represents at least 20% of all the water resources available on the planet.
Because of the huge biodiversity, the Amazon represents an enormous reserve of natural resources – vegetables, minerals and animals – and directly influences the climate equilibrium of the earth.  The Amazon jungle creates half of it’s own rainfall.  Besides that, it represents big forest areas, dry jungles, islands, white sand river beaches, waterfalls, and very rich flora and fauna, with about 30 thousand species of plants and 30 million species of animals.
The best way to get to know the Amazon forest is to navigate through the rivers and tributaries observing the animals of the region. The boat rides through the waters are a great adventure.  There are many options to take a guided hike in the jungle, night walks in the jungle, night animal sightseeing, sport fishing and rides to the beaches of the Negro River.
In the center of the largest tropical jungle on the planet you will find Manaus, whose name derives it’s origin from the valiant Manaós Indian tribe.  Manaus is the capital of the Amazon state.  Manaus is located 18 kilometers from the junction of the Negro and Amazon Rivers.  It is the jump of point for tours going into the Amazon Jungle.
