The jungle covers 5,500,000 square kilometers of the Amazonian basin and is shared by nine countries. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, and comprises the largest and most biodiverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world, with an estimated 390 billion individual trees divided into 16,000 species. The warm, moist climate created by the Atlantic Ocean makes the rainforest habitable for a large number of species of animals, even more than those found in forests in Africa and Asia. Many tours are arranged to take you into the forest for a soulful experience.
