Latin Trails offers wildlife trips of a lifetime in the exciting Amazon

The Amazon rainforest was named as one of the New7Wonders of Nature.

The Amazon rainforest was named as one of the New7Wonders of Nature. This amazing area represents over half of the planet’s remaining rainforests, and it comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rainforest in the world. The Amazon River is the largest river in the world by volume, with a total flow greater than the top ten rivers worldwide combined. It accounts for approximately one-fifth of the total world river flow and has the biggest drainage basin on the planet. You can grasp an understanding of its immensity when you discover that not a single bridge crosses the Amazon.

The Amazon rainforest, also known as Amazonia or the Amazon jungle, is a moist broadleaf forest that covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. This basin encompasses seven million square kilometers (1.7 billion acres), of which five and a half million square kilometers (1.4 billion acres) are covered by the rainforest. This region includes the territory belonging to nine nations.

The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, and with minor amounts in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.

It is no wonder then that the Amazon is high on travelersโ€™ bucket list of places to go, and Latin Trails offers a wide variety of tours to take visitors through this wonderous region. From river boat tours to jungle tree-top hotels, from exploring jungle trails to bird watching, and from canoe rides to fishing, Latin Trails has the adventure and accommodation to satisfy every adult dream and childhood fantasy of exploring this great wonder of the world.
