The Amazon River

The Amazon River is the most fascinating places to visit. The Amazon River is located in South America and it is the second longest river in the whole world. It flows through Guyana, Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. The Amazon River meanders through the dense foliage of this biggest tropical rain forest in the world! The river is so large that the river contain 20% of the planet’s fresh water supply. The river “drains” over 7,381,000 cubic foot of water into the Atlantic Ocean each second. Some interesting facts of the Amazon River is that it originates from the Andes Mountains. The mouth of the river is located in the Atlantic Ocean! The length of the river is approximately 6,400 km or 4,000 miles. There are about an over of 3000 species of fish that live in the Amazon River. One big disadvantage is that this river is the home to the piranha, a meat-eating type of fish. However, the amazon river is a good place to visit. It provides peace and calmness. It is just the sound of the water flowing and the birds chirping. I selected this place, because I hope one day I will visit this place with my whole family and enjoyed the peacefulness there and leave out all the stress at home. This place gives me inspiration and like “good vibes.”
