South America's heart is the Amazon River. This huge river passes Equador, Peru and Brazil, and side rivers are entering Columbia, Venezuela and Bolivia. One of the best ways to experience it is by kayak, where you can admire the river at your own pace while keeping an adventurous feel to it. A fun fact is that in 2007 a Slovenian athlete even swam the entire length in 66 days. We would not recommend it, but it's quite an undertaking. It's a beautiful river containing many animals, but also dangerous animals like piranhas and anacondas. But don't worry, not all animals here are dangerous, ever heard of the pink dolphin? It can be found here as well. The wildlife here is astonishing. Try getting the best information from your local travel agent on forehand so you can get the most out of your own Amazon River experience.
