living in the world’s largest rainforest
my journey in the Amazon Rainforest starts in Manaus, Brazil…on a tiny boat with local driver I go along the Rio Negro followed by Rio Amazonas and in a day I’m in the largest tropical rainforest in the world (48 times the size of USA!).
What’s the feeling? As soon you are of the boat you feel disoriented…everywhere vegetation, so dense that cannot even see the sky!
And what is even more special is that daytime is so quite…looks like nobody is there, but as soon the sun goes away…the music begin! It’s like millions of the creatures living in the forest wake up and start chatting in different languages! unbelievable sound…that goes all night!
my experience of living in the Amazon forest even for just few days has been a wonderful experience! and the villagers are very friendly:)

Amazon Adventure: A Cabin in the Woods.
After a minibus took our group of six to the Mutuca River, we transferred to a small dugout canoe and arrived at a cabin deep in the forest (Amazon Green Tour Lodge).
Life here tries to maintain the characteristics of the rainforest. The bath water is collected and purified from rainwater, and it smells of pine branches. The river at the door is a natural swimming pool. At noon, we ate authentic Brazilian food in the cabin restaurant, and in the morning and evening, we sat by the river to watch the sunrise and sunset. Life was simple and comfortable.
The monkeys were mischievous and fearless, rummaging through bags and stealing chips. Fortunately, the dogs were very friendly, especially the bulldog, who enjoyed my petting. There were also hospitable children, the cook's children. The wild monkeys were their pets and playmates.

Amazon Rainforest: An Epic Adventure into the Heart of the Earth’s Green Lungs
#forest
The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most extraordinary places on the planet, a vast expanse of dense, green wilderness that stretches across nine countries in South America. Known as the “lungs of the Earth,” this incredible ecosystem produces 20% of the world’s oxygen and is home to an astonishing array of wildlife, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
Exploring the Amazon is an experience like no other. As you venture into the heart of the forest, you’ll be surrounded by towering trees, the sounds of exotic birds, and the hum of vibrant life all around you. Guided by local experts, you’ll have the chance to spot some of the rainforest’s most iconic inhabitants—jaguars, sloths, macaws, and river dolphins, to name a few. The Amazon is also home to countless species of plants, many of which are used in traditional medicine and are found nowhere else on Earth.
One of the most memorable experiences in the Amazon is a boat trip along the winding rivers, where the jungle seems to stretch on forever. You might encounter remote indigenous communities who live in harmony with the forest, learning about their cultures and traditions that have been passed down for generations. The Amazon offers a rare glimpse into a world untouched by modern civilization, where nature reigns supreme.
The sheer scale and beauty of the Amazon Rainforest are humbling, offering a deep connection to the natural world and a reminder of the importance of preserving these vital ecosystems. It’s a place that leaves a lasting impression, where every moment is filled with awe and wonder.

Adventures in the Amazon Rainforest
My recent expedition into the heart of the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil was an unparalleled adventure, far removed from Birmingham's urban life. Although it's in a different country, the Amazon Rainforest offers an extraordinary and remote wilderness experience.
The #AmazonAdventure begins with a journey deep into the jungle. The vastness and biodiversity of the rainforest are awe-inspiring. The lush green canopy stretches as far as the eye can see, and the sounds of wildlife surround you, making every moment an immersive experience.
Exploring the rainforest on guided treks allowed me to encounter incredible creatures like monkeys, colorful birds, and elusive jaguars. The Amazon River, with its meandering channels, provides opportunities for boat safaris where you can spot river dolphins, caimans, and vibrant aquatic life.
One of the highlights was spending a night in a jungle lodge, surrounded by the sounds of the forest at night. It's a truly immersive way to connect with nature.
The indigenous communities in the Amazon offer a unique cultural experience. Meeting the local tribes and learning about their traditions, such as tribal dances and medicinal plant knowledge, was a humbling and educational experience.
For those seeking a sustainable adventure, many eco-lodges in the Amazon focus on conservation efforts and provide a responsible way to explore the rainforest.
When planning a trip to the Amazon, it's important to prepare for the region's tropical climate and be aware of the potential presence of insects and wildlife. It's also crucial to follow responsible tourism practices to minimize your impact on this fragile ecosystem.
In conclusion, the Amazon Rainforest offers a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a remote and immersive experience. Whether you're drawn to the wildlife, the culture, or the sheer beauty of the jungle, the Amazon is a destination that will leave you with unforgettable memories. #AmazonWilderness #RainforestAdventure

I have lived in the Amazon rainforest in Peru for a few days.
Followed by our guide to visit the original tribe... I don't know if it is because of tourism development, the children in the tribe have pure eyes, but less of a naughty child.
prematurely carrying the burden of life
Lena..
For centuries, nature has always led people to cross the ocean, carry out unstoppable exploration, and come to the magical Amazon rainforest, not only revealing the original tribal civilization, but also shaping the fate of the rainforest. It is like a flowing nightmare, attracting people to go forward.
The entire Amazon rainforest, covering an area of 7 million square kilometers, spans eight countries and spans almost the entire South American continent. It has a reputation for being old and mysterious. No one can say for sure how much of this kind of ancient, little-known language is covered by the vastness of the river and the dense forests.
When the night is quiet, in the depths of the Amazon rainforest, the guide sits under the only straw shed and picks up a slightly dark light that drives the mosquitoes raging in the forest. "Only lucky people can meet such a clear galaxy here. The weather in the rain forest is always changing, especially on nights when the rain is more frequent." He looked up at the starry night sky. Suddenly, a few black clouds rolled from a distance, and the sky dimmed.
Adam Yue.
The plane passed through the thick clouds, and the drizzle of rain drove outside the hanging window. The sun was hidden behind the clouds and disappeared. Even with the exhaustion of one body, I am sleepy at the moment, with a very complicated mood, always look at the scene outside the window.
The plane turned in the direction and began to dive slowly down. The originally quiet cabin suddenly became paralyzed. I once again explored the window, under the clouds, it was an endless green, a meandering river, looming across the clouds.
Faces in front of the scene, my thoughts become a bit chaotic. I never thought about it. I spent a few years in the Amazon rainforest. At this moment, I spread it in front of my own eyes in such a way. Also immersed in the first to know the excitement, the plane has slowly landed in the town of the rainforest hinterland. Stepping out of the hatch, a burst of moist air passed by, and the clouds in the distance rolled down, as if at your fingertips. Although it is still early in the morning, the town has already fallen into a hustle and bustle, and the three-wheeled motorcycles everywhere on the streets make people often have the illusion of being in Southeast Asia.
The roast crocodile meat that is everywhere in the market has pulled my thoughts back to Amazon. Strolling on the streets of the town, suddenly, over the river bank, the plane whizzed past, making a huge roar and gliding towards the airport. People who work in the town have long been accustomed to this. Although knowing that this is a transportation hub to the Amazon region, the prosperity of the town is beyond imagination. I have been so skeptical that I have really come to the long-lost Amazon.

The Amazon Rainforest is a mysterious and novel animal world with countless primitive and ancient wildlife. From poison dart frogs to all kinds of forest apes, from colorful birds to reptiles, everything is there.
Where you walked into it, it was as if you walked into a magical animal kingdom and walked slowly through the various animals. It was very interesting.

The Amazon rainforest spans eight countries in South America, and most of them have access to the Amazon rainforest. However, because of the convenience of transportation, the maturity level of travel development is different, so there are some differences in prices. Among them, the most popular and relatively mature countries in the Amazon region are Brazil and Peru.
Brazil's gateway city is Manaus, Peru is Maldonado Port, starting from the country for 15 days or so, the total cost is about 450,000 or so. Amazon's local indigenous diet is relatively unique. For example, fried insects, crocodile meat, etc., which are common along the street, may be difficult for local tourists. However, as more and more foreign tourists and local businessmen enter, most towns can still find fried chicken, rice and other meals, some cities or hotels, and some quite good Western restaurants. If you live in the Resort around the rainforest, it is usually a buffet. The choices are quite rich, and the taste can basically satisfy foreign tourists. If you enter the rainforest hinterland, each meal needs to be cooked by the guide. Therefore, the taste of the food depends entirely on the cooking of the guide.
According to experience, most guides can do some simple fried eggs, fried fish, etc., but they can only be used for fruit. So before entering the rainforest, it is best to bring some food in advance to prevent eating food that you are not used to.

Traveling through the pristine jungle, you can often hear the huge squeaks that rang through the entire rainforest. The first time I heard these screams, I thought it was a giant beast that was fighting for a desperate struggle, imagining a scene of cruelty and blood, and it was a matter of heart. However, it was later discovered that these sounds came from a monkey unique to the jungle, the apes.
These monkeys are one of the largest monkeys in the American continent. They have hair around their face and a thick nose. Strong body, covered with thick, thick black, brown, red and other long hair, and with the sun's light intensity and projection angle, change from gold green to purple red and other colors, Looking very beautiful. They like to walk on the limbs, rarely jump, and the tail can provide extra support. The most striking thing about these guys is the huge buzz they make.
Because their tongues are particularly large, they can form a special echo. Whenever it needs to send out a variety of different nature of the paging signal, it will be an unusually loud buzzing sound, constantly ringing in the forest canopy, sometimes a few apes gather together, roaring the call sign, shocking the four wild, the giant The sound can make humans a few kilometers away, clearly hear their voices, full of shock and impact.

The aborigines living in Amazon have the habit of hunting. Although many species have become the national protected animals of Brazil, the villagers have gradually abandoned hunting. However, many animals have accidentally received injuries because of the existence of a large number of hunting traps. They formed an animal international rescue organization in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. They are composed of animal protectionists and doctors from all over the world. The funds come from social donations, and the staff is also passionate about it.
I am very honored to be one of them, take care of the injured animals in just three days, let them return to the rainforest as soon as possible, and every moment they come into contact with them will make people love the world more. .
JOJO’s wonderful trip.
The Amazon rainforest covers an area of 7 million square kilometers and occupies eight countries including Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana and Suriname, accounting for half of the world's rainforest area. With the world's richest flora and fauna, if you want to choose the most cost-effective location for Amazon's exploration, I recommend the most popular place in Iquitos, Peru.
Iquitos Iquitos is the largest city in the world that can't be reached by car. It has a population of 500,000 and is the largest city in the rainforest. Here, you can rent a boat at the dock to go to the rainforest to find animals. Don't let go of every lush branch, there may be a sloth or a scorpion hidden there, and enjoy these moments of discovery, you will not want to leave.
JOJO’s wonderful trip.
Here is the place where the whole South America has brought me the most surprises. The originality, the wildness, and the beauty away from the world have deeply fascinated me.
When you mention the Amazon rainforest, what do you think of?
Piranha? Large pythons? Wonderful animal? Primitive tribe? ...
Yes, all the original and wild scenery you can imagine can be witnessed in the magical land of Amazon.
However, before entering the rainforest, I wanted to explore the lifestyle of the Aboriginal people living in the Amazon, so I went to the Iquitos dock and took the local public transport boat to visit the wooden houses along the river, like the locals. The world's largest water, the most extensive Amazon River, back and forth, watching their way of life, quietly waiting for the sunset to fill the Amazon.
JOJO’s wonderful trip.
Life in the city is often faint and lacks brilliance; into the romantic tropical rainforest surrounded by green, and in the pure nature of the Amazon, let the long-repressed emotions be released;
The strange animals hidden in this jungle are undoubtedly the most dazzling stars of Amazon. Their every move will make me unable to stop to watch; their funny movements and expressions often lead me and the guide to laugh; and their alertness and attack, and involuntarily tighten the nerves. These experiences have become a valuable asset in life and the most memorable memory of Amazon.
Among the many animals hidden in the rainforest, the most hilarious is the slow-moving three-toed sloth. Its shape is similar to that of the monkeys. The claws are usually hung upside down on the branches. No matter what happens around them, they don't move half an inch for hours. Presumably, the name of the "slazy" comes from it.
In addition, the sloth is still the only wild animal with plants. Although it has feet, it can't walk with it, but rely on the forelegs to drag the body forward.
Whenever a new sun rises to the sky, the creek water jumps through the dense forest, and the morning of the Amazon is peaceful and peaceful, and it is immersive to feel the purity of nature. Among the lush tropical jungles, the alert squirrel monkeys are hiding between the treetops, climbing toward the trees and looking for food. Moussa guided me to observe and introduce that these animals with unique skills are the land

Have you ever thought about rafting in the lush pristine rainforest, exploring the mysterious animal kingdom, sleeping peacefully under the pure starry sky and the galaxy, what a romantic experience.
There is such a magical land that occupies one-fifth of the forest area on Earth. One of the largest river basins in the world, nestled among the dense jungles, hidden in this endless green, is known as the "Lung of the Earth";
in this lush pristine tropical Among the rainforests, there are a large variety of flora and fauna, which is known as the world of animals and plants. Wake up to you every day is no longer the pressure to go to work, but the macaws are crisp and screaming, and the screaming of the monkeys in the jungle.
In this jungle full of unknowns, there are countless deadly cold-blooded killers. The tiny animals that look like beautiful skin, maybe just touched gently, will immediately make people feel numb and even die on the spot. The giant squats in the river, when encountering potential food, will use the strong muscles to easily entangle humans. This is thus seen as a human exclusion zone.
Boating through this magical tropical rainforest, feeling the purest romance from nature, after the experience, will have a deeper understanding of the world.
