Have you ever been to the Amazon? If you have not yet had the privilege to explore this magnificent rainforest why not opt for an adventurous holiday at some point in 2011? It beats typical beach holidays a million times over, and you'll return to the UK feeling like you've done something quite extraordinary. There are lots of Brazilian national parks in the area which make for a fantastic exploring session!
The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, and comprises the largest and most species-rich area of tropical rainforest in the world. With a wide variety of tree species, 250 species of mammals, 2000 fish species and 1000 bird species to encounter, there are lots of animal spotting opportunities if you're so inclined.
All inclusive holidays are not exactly very rewarding. There aren't very many challenges that you face during your travels and trekking through the rainforest is a much more exciting way to spend your holiday time. When do you usually get the chance to go on a canoe ride through the forest's creeks while on holiday? You can also drink water from trees and learn about natural remedies with various tribes on the Amazon. It's important to research just what you want to do before you arrive as there is so much to see and do, you don't want to miss out.
Maybe you fancy going on a complete whim for your next holiday? Late holidays are a great way to enjoy a random holiday and there's nothing like a bit of spontaneity. You'll be pleasantly surprised at just how much fun a trip like this can be. You just need to ensure that you pack all the right things, as this is not your typical holiday experience. Stock up on sun lotion and insect repellent along with plasters and blister plasters. A pair of sensible hiking boots, thick socks and a wide brimmed hat are necessities too along with sunglasses and plenty of water. Don't forget a raincoat or pac a mac either - you never know when you might be treated to an unexpected shower! Also, pack plenty of long sleeved tops and trousers (not shorts) and when in the forest, tuck socks into trousers to help minimise the chance of bites.
There is a lot that you can do to help minimise the impact of humans on the rainforest. Whilst deforestation has reduced dramatically, it is still happening and there are many charities around trying to stop this. You could always get involved in a conservation project during your time in South America. It's a great way to spend your time and you'll feel like you're really giving something back to society.
