It is SO sad that this beautiful land is getting destroyed by us. I will probably not have the chance to see this beauty in person and even sadder that it may not be around to see in person by my children.
Explore an extraordinary region where water and land life intermingle six months out of the yearJourney into a tropical jungle of staggering beauty. Here, torrential rains annually transform the dry forest floor into a watery world where some of the most extraordinary and uncommon wildlife flourish. In waters 50 feet deep, you’ll encounter graceful river dolphins navigating through flooded treetops and the usually lethargic three toed sloth swimming agilely among the branches. Watch an arrowhana fish leap through the air to grab a beetle perched on a tree trunk, and meet two masterful hunters the electric eel and the notorious piranha. You’ll witness the wonders of nature in what has been called “the greatest evolutionary theater in the world.  Amazon: Land of the Flooded Forest
