Amazon is a great place to visit if you wish to see some nice rainforest, enjoy the heat, and maybe see some small animals and insects. Don't expect to see any big mammals or anything like that.. You might, but then you are really lucky. The thich rainforest gives the mammals a great opportunity to hide from you. Nevertheless, it's a great experience to see the sights, plants, Huaorani indians (the warriors of Amazon), and maybe even get a tarantula on your head (scared me at least!). My choice of Amazon trip was the budget option through the city of Coca from Ecuador. It costs only a fraction of what the prices are e.g. for Rio Amazon cruises.
