The Amazon River is the largest and longer river in the world; it's also the main artery of the whole Amazon rainforest system and washes most of the villages and towns in the region. If you make a trip up or down the Amazon River you will have the opportunity to know the ecosystem in all its plenitude .
The first thing to decide about a trip in the Amazon River is if you are going upstream or downstream. Both ways you have regular boats linking Belem and Manaus in a 5-6 days trip where you stop at the most important cities in the Amazon rainforest region, like Santarem and Parintins. There are always boat cruises especially designed for tourists. They are more expensive but you have a trip fully designed to foreigners and all the things you need, so you just can relax.
Let's see in detail one of those trips, starting in Belem and going to Santarem . Belem is a big city and you won't have any problems there. The trip started in Belem river port where you can easily get information (including information in English) about the boats that are leaving that day or the next. Choose the boat you want to go (they will vary on speed, accommodations and price) and pack yourself, don't forget to buy a net if you are not going in a cabin (think carefully about that, comfort in a cabin pays off the difference in price by far). The travel usually starts early in the morning and you will see the first nice scenes within just a couple of minutes from the start of the trip. Actually, you will get astonished after a couple of hours when you leave the traces of the big city behind and start to see the forest.
