South America is a vast continent that incorporates a variety of unique natural phenomena and structures, many of which drive tourist traffic to a specific country or location. However, the Amazon River does not reside in one particular spot as it is one of the longest rivers in the world and touches approximately eight different regions. The river spans 4,345 miles, which makes it an incredibly difficult attraction for tourists to explore in its entirety. However, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru host the main body of the Amazon and thus make these three countries ideal destinations for tourists looking to see the power and prominence of such a giant body of water. Travelers simply need to remember to be wary of the plentiful pirahnas!

It may seem hard to follow up the incredible Amazon River. However, the next South American site has left scholars and tourists curious for generations.
