The Amazon Vacation
BRAZIL, SOUTH AMERICA – Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take a trip to the 4,000 mile long Amazon River in South America? Have you ever wondered what kind of plants and animals are there on that river with over 1,000 tributaries? Or maybe you’re more interested in the land and the people surrounding it. If so, read on. The Amazon has a lot to offer and this article can in no way suffice for the absolute beauty experienced by actually being there, but it will give a sense, at least, that is my hope. How about that water? There obviously an enormous amount of water that flows through that river. But did you know that that number is astronomically huge?

They still run, jump, and climb trees. Another beautiful family of specimens of the Amazon are the parrots. Macaws and toucans are two of the more densely populated species of the region. These birds have amazingly vibrant colors, and an equally rousing song. The land is also littered with frogs, snakes, mammals, and many other interesting creatures. Beware of the snakes especially. Many poisonus species live in the Amazon. One dangerous snake is the anaconda. There have been many stories of these huge snakes eating fishermen, whole. So maybe it wouldn’t be a very good idea to bring your fishing pole. Perhaps just a spear. ants of Amazonia are of equal interest. The plants are extremely numerous.
