Se a Rainforest

Welcome to the Amazon, the world's largest rainforest.

Before we begin our visit, there are a few things you should know about the Amazon, which is also known as Amazonia.

About the Amazon rainforest

The Amazon rainforest is broadly defined as the tropical forest in the Amazon river basin and adjacent lowlands
in the northeastern part of South America.

Combined, this area amounts to roughly 8 million square kilometers (3.1 million square miles)
and covers some 40% of the South American continent, making it nearly the size of the United States.
