The Amazon

Most of the Amazon rainforest is located in Brazil (and it is rich with tropical birds and animals. It is not a place for the faint of heart, we must add, as cougars, black caimans and anacondas live in the undergrowth and these two chaps pictured having a swim are lucky they didnt get zapped by an electric eel or a gnawed at by piranhas. Despite the dangers, there are ways to enjoy the worlds most famous rainforest from river cruises to kayaks, and it is worth braving the rest to be able to swim with pink dolphins. Yes, we said pink.
