The Amazon

The Amazon Rain Forest contains the largest area of tropical forest in the world, covering 6 million sq km (2.3 million sq miles) in nine different countries, 60% in Brazil.

Biologically, it is the richest and most diverse region in the world, containing about 20% of all higher plant species, perhaps the same proportion of bird species and around 10% of the world's mammals - each type of tree may support more than 400 insect species.

At the heart of this region lies the huge Amazon River, the second longest in the world, which has at least 1.000 tributaries and holds more than 20% of the planet's fresh water.

The Amazon is estimated to contain 2.000 species of fish, ten times the number in European rivers, not to mention numerous reptiles - the cayman, the giant anaconda, and mammals - amazonian manatee and the pink river dolphin.

Manaus is the Amazon state's capital with an urban population of approximately one million inhabitants.

Magestic vestiges of the rubber boom stand monumentally, refurbished and gleaming on the edge of the Rio Negro: the Amazon Theater, the Custom House, the Municipal Market (pre-assembled in England before being shipped to Brazil).

Light clothes, comfortable shoes, sun tan cream and mosquito repellent are recommended for the packages and cruises described on the next pages
