Although the vast and fragile ecosystem of the Amazon covers about half of Brazil, it is responsible for supplying 20% of the planet's oxygen, it contains a fifth of the earth's fresh water and houses 20% of the world's animal species and plant life. No collection of statistics can adequately describe the enormity of it. Its gateway is Manaus, a hot, humid, yet fascinating city with an opera house of such colonial magnificence that it would not seem out of place in 18th century Spain.
The way of life is
boats and the pace of life is governed by the flow of the river. Undertake an
Amazon cruise, trek in the forest, fish for piranhas and experience this unique and fascinating lifestyle.
