The Amazon rain forest is a spectacle of a place. This dense tropical jungle with its complete lack of any modern amenities is home to an abundance of majestic plants and creatures that you will not find anywhere else on this planet of ours.

It is thought that there are roughly 300 different species of plants in this rainforest but there are probably quite a few more that have remained undiscovered by the many scientists that have ventured here. The river that flows through the forest is the mighty Amazon and the water flow is said to be about one fifth of the whole planets water. This has given rise to the Amazon being known as the water basin of the Earth.

There are natives that inhabit this land and they are a mixed European and indigenous race known as the Mestizo clan. These natives use the natural food sources of the Amazon rain forest to survive in this place. They sometimes have to make the hike to the nearest towns if they need any necessities but otherwise they just farm the forest.

The rain forest is absolutely breathtaking and has atmosphere all of its very own. The dampness that surrounds the place is mainly down to the fact that it can often record up to nine feet of rainfall in a single year.

If you hike through the rain forest you will see wondrous sights such as the mighty waterfalls that seem to drive the water from a great height as though it is coming straight from the sky.

There is lush green vegetation everywhere you look in this wondrous place and it certainly opens your eyes to the wonders of the environment in all its glory.

You would be forgiven for not realizing that the temperatures around the area exceed 100 degrees as you are nearly always sheltered by the throng of trees that just reach right up into the sky.

This place is so beautiful that even the finest videos or photographs still struggle to do it justice.
