How much does it cost to go to the amazon rainforest?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

About the same cost to go to Brazil. The Amazon rain forest goes right on top of Brazil. You should take a bus or car to the rain forest and get to the river by walk. Besides you can go to Chile or Venezuela. The Amazon goes right on the other countries. No roads or towns. Just a whole rain forest to hike through.

How many gallons of water does the Amazon River pour into the Atlantic Ocean every second?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Think about how quick one second is...now consider this....in one second the Amazon pours almost 60 million gallons, or 620,000 cubic yards of water, into the Atlantic Ocean. This massive influx of fresh water actually dilutes the ocean's salinity, or saltiness, for up to 100 miles offshore. To put this massive amount of water into perspective keep in mind that one days worth of water flowing out of the Amazon is the equivalent of 12 years worth of water usage by the city of New York. Put another way, the average back yard swimming pool is about 30,000 gallons, the amazing Amazon River dumps enough water into the Atlantic Ocean every second to fill 2,000 swimming pools! EVERY SECOND!
