Amazon Rainforest

Home to more species of plants and animals than any other terrestrial ecosystem on the planet, one-third of all species in the world are thought to reside in the Amazon Rainforest. Home to reptiles, amphibians, primates, tapirs, capybaras (the largest rodent in the world), and even jaguars, you will know doubt have some sort of wildlife encounter on your journey through the Amazon.

Its 3,000 freshwater fish species number more that what's been counted in the entire Atlantic Ocean! A birder's paradise, the Amazon Rainforest contains more species than any other ecosystem on the planet and contains over 4,000 species of butterflies. In the river itself you may spot a curious manatee or the Amazon River dolphin (also known as the pink river dolphin or boto). The diversity of wildlife in the Amazon region is truly staggering and worth a trip in and of itself to South America.
