Known as the ‘lungs of the Earth’, the Amazon region of Brazil stretches across half of the country. The world’s largest tropical rainforest is made up of several diverse ecosystems, making it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Venture into the dense jungle, glide down a tributary of the river that shares its name in a canoe or even take a longer Amazon River cruise along the mighty waterway itself; the possibilities for adventure and exploration are endless. Amazon holidays can also introduce you to different ways of life, meeting some of the indigenous tribes who still call the jungle home. Whether you choose to cruise or stay in one of the fabulous eco-lodges, the vast Amazon Biosphere Reserve has plenty of treasures to uncover.
