The Amazon basin is a natural world wonder that has captured the attention of individuals of all ages and from all walks of life. It has an unrivaled ecosystem, and each year travelers are surprised at how much they find in this intriguing area of the world. For this reason, Amazon adventure tours are becoming more popular each year among tourists from across the globe.

The Amazonian River is larger than the world's eight largest rivers combined. This means that its mass equals twice the size of the country of India, and its basin reaches eight different countries. It affects the world's air quality, water supply, and changes in weather.

Many people find the serenity and quietness that are characteristic features of the basin appealing. Here, a person can also examine the numerous plant species found in the area, see and hear howler monkeys playing, and breathe oxygen enriched air that will likely make him or her feel a burst of energy.

Late spring and early summer are the best times to travel to the area if one is interested in a traditional tour. However, certain visitors would rather experience the river when the forest has flooded, which is typically between February and April. Canoeing through the quiet, submerged forest is an experience unique to the Amazonian basin.

When planning such a tour, one has a broad range of options from which to choose. For example, a person can plan a traditional vacation that includes a three-day tour as part of the package. One can also opt for a lengthier tour that does not feature any stay in a hotel or resort. Each option has its own pros and cons, and therefore one should consider a variety of packages before finalizing his or her plans.

A riverboat tour is another interesting avenue through which one can experience the Amazon. This venue is unique and pleasant, and provides a great way for visitors to benefit from all the area has to offer. Travelers typically sleep on board, and during the day the riverboat chugs along the route, offering great sightseeing opportunities as the tour progresses. Multiple stopping points are usually part of the route, and excursions of this type typically last 5-10 days.

Tours that involve sportfishing and tree climbing are also quite popular among those interested in Amazonian getaways. They can be arranged as a one-day outing, or they may be part of a boat or lodge tour. Anyone who enjoys physical activity or sports will find that this is a great option.

Over the past decade, hiking tours have become more popular than ever before. This is likely because hiking through the Amazon is an excellent way to experience all the characteristics that make this area unique. Participants on such tours frequently get to converse with local residents and learn about their native culture.

Most people who book Amazon adventure tours take a minimum of seven days for their trip. If someone has more time available, he or she should consider dividing it among different areas of the basin. Reservations can be handled by a travel agent or one can complete this task online. Regardless of the vacationer's goals, no one will regret a visit to this mesmerizing area of the world.
