The Parque Estadual do Caracol includes an amazing waterfall that is 426 feet in height. A walk down a flight of 927 steps will take you to the bottom of the falls. The Iguaçu Falls includes 275 different waterfalls that are partly in Brazil and partly in Argentina where you will get a closer look. Boat trips that take you beneath the falls are available.

Encontro das Áquas, which means Meeting of the Waters, is the place where the Rio Solimömes meets the Rio Negro. Amazingly enough, the two flowing rios travel alongside each other for some distance before they meet, join, and form the Amazon River.

The Amazon basin is a mix of jungle and river. Although it can be entered by boat, bus, or air, boat is actually the best form of transportation. The Parque Nacional Sete Cidades provides an awesome look at incredible rock formations including caves and arches. Rock paintings add to the charm of this place.
