The Amazon River or River Amazon (Portugues: Rio Amazonas; Spanish: Río Amazonas) of South America is the largest river in the world by volume, with a total river flow greater than the next top ten largest rivers flowing into the ocean combined.
The Amazon River accounts for approximately 1/5 of total world's river flow, and it has the largest drainage basin in the world. There is an ongoing dispute regarding its length, and along with the Nile it is one of the contenders for the position as the longest river in the world. Because of its vast dimensions, it is sometimes called The River Sea (o rio-mar in Portuguese), and at no point is it crossed by bridges. In 1500, Vicente Yañez Pinzón was the first European to sail into the river.

National bird of Brasil: Tucano

It is hard to see this bird as he always stays on top of tree.

I took this picture at zoo.

Amazon river from airplane, near Manaus city.

Formally, though, the union of the Ucayali and the Marañón form the Río Amazonas, which changes its name to Solimões on the triple frontier between Peru, Colombia and Brazil, and later changes its name back to the Amazon only after it meets the Rio Negro near Manaus.

Bellow picture is the meeting point of Negro river and Solimões river. You can easily go to this point from Manaus by ferry. Here is very famous spot !

There are many tours to stay in jungle on amazon area. Need 5night to enjoy the life in the jungle and at the lodge on the Amazon river. Surely there are a lot of plan of shorter stay program.
