What are Brazil's physical landmarks?

Answer 1

Three of the most famous physical landmarks in Brazil are the Amazon Rainforest, the Amazon River, and the Iguaçu Falls.

1. Sixty [60] percent of the Amazon Rainforest [Floresta Amazonia] is within Brazil's borders. The Amazon Rainforest is the largest and most biologically diverse rainforest in the world.

2. Most of the Amazon River [Rio Amazonas] is in Brazil. The Amazon River has the largest drainage basin in the world. Generally it's considered the second longest river in the world, after the Nile.

But Brazilian scientists dispute this. They state that the Amazon is 65 miles [105 kilometers] longer than the Nile.

3. Brazil shares the Iguaçu Falls [Cataratas do Iguaçu] with Argentina. It's one of largest waterfalls in the world. There are 275 falls along 1.67 miles [2.7 kilometers] of the Iguaçu River. The height of the longest drop is 269 feet [82 meters] at The Devil's Throat [Garganta do Diablo], which marks the border between Argentina and Brazil. Many rare and endangered species, such as the giant anteater and the giant otter, are found there. It's been a Natural World Heritage Site since 1986.
