4. The Amazon Rainforest, South America
The Amazon Rainforest, often referred to as the "Lungs of the Earth," is an unparalleled natural wonder that has captured the hearts and minds of countless explorers and eco-enthusiasts.
Whichever country Amazon visitors are seeing it in (it stretches across nine! Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela, and French Guiana), they are blown away its sheer scale and incredible biodiversity, with 8.7% of the Amazon’s reviews describing it as an unforgettable or memorable experience. From jaguars to sloths, spider monkeys to pink dolphins, the Amazon is home to millions of species of plants, insects and animals including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians - many of which can’t be found anywhere else on earth. As well as its mind-blowing wildlife, the Amazon is also home to numerous indigenous communities that have inhabited the region for thousands of years. These communities have a deep cultural connection to the land and its biodiversity, and help preserve the Amazon as one of the world’s most memorable locations.
