Amazon Adventure
亞馬遜河探險之旅
The Amazon River in South America is the second longest river in the world and by far the largest by water flow with an average discharge greater than the next seven largest rivers combined (not including Madeira and Rio Negro, which are tributaries of the Amazon). The Amazon, which has the largest drainage basin in the world, about 7,050,000 square kilometers (2,720,000 sq mi), accounts for approximately one-fifth of the worlds total river flow.
In its upper stretches, above the confluence of the Rio Negro, the Amazon is called Solimões in Brazil; however, in Peru, Colombia and Ecuador, as well as the rest of the Spanish-speaking world, the river is generally called the Amazon downstream from the confluence of the Marañón and Ucayali rivers in Peru. The Ucayali-Apurímac river system is considered the main source of the Amazon.
The width of the Amazon varies between 1.6 and 10 kilometers (1.0 and 6.2 mi) at low stage, but expands during the wet season to 48 kilometers (30 mi) or more. The river enters the Atlantic Ocean in a broad estuary about 240 kilometers (150 mi) wide. The mouth of the main stem is 80 kilometers (50 mi). Because of its vast dimensions, it is sometimes called The River Sea. The first bridge in the Amazon river system (over the Rio Negro) opened on 10 October 2010. It is in the immediate vicinity of the city of Manaus.
亞馬遜河位於南美洲，是世界流量、流域最大的、支流最多的、及第二長的河流。亞馬遜河流量達每秒219,000立方米，流量比其他三條大河尼羅河、長江、密西西比河的總和還要大幾倍，大約相當於7條長江的流量，佔世界河流流量的20%；流域面積達6,915,000平方公里，佔南美州面積的40%；支流數超過1萬5千條。
由於河流長度測量方法並無定論，亞馬遜河河長便有著多種不同的說法，其中之一即為常見的6,400公里，依此則稍短於非洲的尼羅河而位居世界第二長河。 2007年，一群來自巴西與秘魯的學者共同宣稱找到新的源頭，並發表量測的河長達6,992.15公里，因而超越尼羅河成為世界第一長河。然而事實上該河源早在1996年就已被發現，並在2001年被學界確認，因此所謂「新河源」及因此而推演之「新河長」之正確性仍有待全球地理學界的檢驗。
亞馬遜河距河口150公里內的海水都不鹹，海水含鹽量相當低，主河道有1.5到12公里寬，從河口向內河有3700公里的航道，海船可以直接到達秘魯的伊基托斯，小一點的船可以繼續航行780公里到達阿庫阿爾角，再小的船還可以繼續上行。
亞馬遜河從北緯5度伸展到南緯20度，源頭在安第斯山高原中，離太平洋只有很短的距離，經過秘魯和巴西在赤道附近進入大西洋。 亞馬遜河水中生活著多種水生生物，亞馬遜海豚是世界上體形最大的淡水海豚，成體可達2.6米，還有食人魚，牠們成群生活，可能攻擊人畜，雖然有許多專家不認為牠們這麽可怕，但在1981年在奧比多斯的翻船事故中有300人喪生在牠們口中。
在亞馬遜河流域的淺水中還有水蟒，是世界上最大的蛇，牠們大部分時間在水中，只把鼻孔露出水面，但水蟒一般不攻擊漁民。河中還有幾千種魚類、蟹和龜鱉類生活
