Where Is Amazon Rainforest

Earlier last week, the immense Amazon Rainforest was named one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, putting it among the ranks of some of the most incredible destinations on earth. For being the world’s largest jungle, it is not surprising that the lush foliage and all of the animals and civilizations that call it home, not to mention countless mysteries still left to be discovered, are being recognized for their majesty. If you are planning to go to South America, then a trip to the rainforest cannot be left unconsidered. Here are top 3 places where you can glean the best experiences the Amazon has to offer.

1. Manaus, Brazil – Brazil is the largest country in South America by far, and it also owns the largest portion of the continent’s Amazon. Manaus is the capital of the Amazonas state and is every bit of a large city as any other. However, its proximity to the jungle is what makes it the perfect base to get to before venturing further into nature. Most of the rainforest lodges and getaways are reachable in less than one day of travel. As well, travelers with booked Brazil vacation packages can embark on excursions such as trekking, canoeing, and interacting with the indigenous natives that have lived there since their ancestors first arrived.

2. Puerto Maldonado, Peru – Peru contains one of the biggest and richest portions of the Amazon. In the north of the country is Iquitos, a city whose jungle location makes it the largest city on earth reachable only by air or water and not vehicle. But down in the south is the quiet city of Puerto Maldonado. It is just next to the legendary Manu Nature Reserve whose conservation and preservation efforts makes the park a fantastic place to earn all of your Amazon Rainforest experiences. As well, Puerto Maldonado Amazon tours will allow you to enjoy luxurious activities such as Amazon River cruises and village visits.

3. Tena, Ecuador – To get away from the crowds, visit Tena. This is a less popular but still as rewarding entry point to the jungle. Its location at the edge of the Amazon is scenic because it also allows for views of the nearby Andes. There are many conservation projects that travelers can be part of. For thrills, enjoy rafting, caving, climbing, trekking, and more, deep within the incredible Amazon Rainforest in this part of Ecuador.
