The Amazon River is the longest, widest river, with the greatest volume of water, in the world. Brazil’s mighty Amazon basin is formed from the water collected from 8 different countries, from as far south as Bolivia to as far north as Venezuela.  From its source in the Peruvian Andes, it has a journey of some 6,762 km to the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean, where fresh water can still be tasted 100 km out to sea! 

OUR FAVOURITE THINGS TO DO IN THE AMAZON

BOAT RIDES

Known for its animals and bird life, although the feeling of being so far from anywhere is a large part of the experience, the area is an untouched wilderness. Exploring its many tributaries by boat is one of the highlights

MANAUS

At its centre lies Manaus, a fascinating town in the heart of the Amazon.  The city experienced exponential growth as well as a vast ostentation of wealth due to the rubber boom of the 19th century.

WILDLIFE

With some of the best wildlife viewing in the Amazon basin; there are over 1000 species of bird, while you may be lucky enough to see giant river otters and the elusive jaguar as well as pink dolphins!
