The Amazon River in South America, a total length of 6760 km, originated in the Andes of Peru, via the Columbia, culminating in the northern coast of Brazil into the Atlantic. Is the world's largest tributary, river flow, the largest and the two longest river, gave birth to the world's largest tropical rainforest, the "Kingdom of life". The whole basin are near the equator, hot and humid climate, abundant rainfall.
The Amazon basin numerous species, not a place in the world, including the rest of the rain forest, can be compared, it is also the world's the one and only enigma in biology. The Amazon jungle and flow between the many dangers lurking: piranha, infectious disease, there are many plants and animals that we know and do not know the jungle, there are many uncivilized "savage", full of mystery and thriller color. Can say, the Amazon is not read through, even if you spent your life time.
Heihe and the Amazon River meeting.The walking process
See the "two rivers and two intersection"
The first leg of the trip is to Manaus City, this is a small city is very famous, a lot of tourists will choose to start from here to visit the vast amazon.
Manaus is Heihe and the junction of two rivers, two tributaries are respectively connected with Peru and Columbia, swell when river through the Andes mountains. Natural superior geographical position makes this city has become an important transport hub for all of South America: in the rubber industry strong in early nineteenth Century, South Beauty rubber are here, from here sent to Europe, Africa, Asia and North america. The whole Manaus the old city to the theater square as the center, radiation from the Star Road, on the road full of churches, police, parks and other public facilities.
Manaus outdoor dining Bar everywhere, in clear weather, sunny afternoon, holding a newspaper, a book, and some snacks drink is definitely one thing particularly comfortable. Interestingly, when the six night, these stalls will shut the door, you'll find out the street shop stalls will only use plastic cloth simply wrapped up, inside the goods do not take, also is not afraid of someone to steal, in this small city, we all live relaxed leisure, security is also particularly good.
Outside the city in Manaus, Heihe and the Amazon River, the convergence of two rivers is together also not fusion, has a distinct traces on the surface of the water, the water is said to be two incompatible with several reasons, one is the water temperature difference, water temperature in Heihe is 28 degrees Celsius, while Amazon's temperature is 22 degrees Celsius; two is the velocity the difference, Heihe's velocity is 2-3 km per hour, and the Amazon River's flow rate is 6-8 km per hour; three is the weight of the different mineral water. Therefore, the formation of "be quite distinct from each other" wonders.
Many people know that Manaus the convergence of two rivers, but did not know that the former is the convergence of two rivers Santarem, black and yellow intersection, the latter is green yellow intersection. Santarem is the second largest city in the downstream, with a population of about 400000. Along the left side of the line is about 2 kilometers, step on the ladder to a viewing platform, overlooking the intersection from the south to the Green River tributary stream Taparuosi and Amazon mainstream confluent and rivers and world-class landscape.
The Amazon River Basin lurk many dangerous, even so, it still attracts people continue to.Rain forest in the Devils Lake and Ephraim
The tropical rain forest is looked up and not see the blue sky, bow with moss place, here the light is dim, worm snakes, people during walking, not only difficult, but also very dangerous. However, there is a biological paradise.
In the depths of the forest we see many animal, in addition to a variety of birds, like the eagle is particularly much, all the way to listen to birds in the forest. Also see several Amazonian tree endemic to La, and monkeys, crocodiles, let a person plaint here is really worthy of the kingdom of animal and plant life.
What impressed me most is the rain forest in the devil's Lake, the river is called the devil's Lake, is here because of the broad surface of the water but the water turbidity, water full of dangerous animal, not only everyone anxious crocodile, and the world-famous piranha. The fish body length of only 20 to 40 cm, but it has sharp teeth, sensitive sense of smell, very bloodthirsty, once a person or animal is a piranha bite bleeding, hundreds of thousands of fish will come eat. They are said to attack the cow, horse in 15 minutes, people eat only needs 5 minutes only a pile of bones.
The captain took fishing vest wound by hand hang fresh beef to piranha piranha, the lake is very much, just under the bait fish is on the hook, the fish hook to catch up on the very troublesome, must with great care to pick, slightly careless piranha would quickly biting people finger.
Devils Lake from the near to the distant hierarchy, the tone is obvious, the narrow lake with large lotus, this is Victoria, have a diameter of two m long, allegedly, lotus is will ambush big crocodile.
