The Amazon River

The Amazon River is the largest river in the world, accounting for approximately 1/5 of the world's river flow. Boat cruises are offered that glide along the Amazon River. The boat departs from Manaus, the Amazon's capital city. The boat runs along the river and stops for small excursions to explore the surrounding forest. There are a variety of boat options for tourists to choose from. They even offer yachts that travel through the river and specialize in fishing and bird watching. There are also less luxurious cruises that focus more on the wildlife. This sounds like such an amazing experience that in this case, I would choose wildlife over luxury!
