The Amazon Jungle... is the largest tropical forest on earth! Covering an area larger than the entire continental United States, the Amazon River Basin harbors nearly one-third of the world*s plant and animal species and contains nearly one-quarter of the earth*s fresh water. Besides its wealth of discovered and undiscovered flora and fauna, the Amazon is home to many diverse indigenous human populations. An exciting addition to this journey of discovery is the Pantanal and the Savannah...a unique mosiac of scenery and landscapes and a celebration of nature and of life.
