The Big Amazonas River [02:02]
The Amazon River in South America is the second longest in the world and by far the largest by waterflow 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 7050000 square kilometres (2720000 sq mi), accounts for approximately one-fifth of the world's total river flow. In its upper stretches, above the confluence of the Negro River, 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 kilometres (1.0 and 6.2 mi) at low stage, but expands during the wet season to 48 kilometres (30 mi) or more. The river enters the Atlantic Ocean in a broad estuary about 240 kilometres (150 mi) wide. The mouth of the main stem is 80 kilometres (50 mi).[5] 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 October 10, 2010. It is just outside Manaus. In this video you see the amazong flooding station in Leticia - Amazonas 2012.

Amazonas desde el Cielo [01:33]
La Amazonia, también denominada Amazonía, es una vasta región de la parte central y septentrional de América del Sur que comprende la selva tropical de la cuenca del Amazonas. La adyacente región de las Guayanas también posee selvas tropicales, por lo que muchas veces se le considera parte de la Amazonia. Esta selva amazónica es el bosque tropical más extenso del mundo. Se considera que su extensión llega a los 6 millones de km² repartidos entre ocho países, de los cuales Brasil posee la mayor extensión de la Amazonia, seguidos por Perú, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana, Venezuela, Surinam y la Guayana Francesa. La Amazonia destaca por ser una de las ecorregiones con mayor biodiversidad en el mundo. El 11 de noviembre de 2011 la selva amazónica fue declarada una de las siete maravillas naturales del mundo. Y para muestra un botón, una vista aérea espectacular.

Leticia Amazonas Colombia [00:46]
The Amazon rainforest (in Portuguese, Floresta Amazônica or Amazônia; Spanish: Selva Amazónica or Amazonia), also known as Amazonia or Amazon jungle, is a moist broadleaf forest that covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. This basin encompasses seven million square kilometers (1.7 billion acres), of which five and a half million square kilometers (1.4 billion acres) are covered by the rainforest. This region includes territory belonging to nine nations. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, and with minor amounts in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. States or departments in four nations bear the name Amazonas after it. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, and it comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rainforest in the world. The Amazon rainforest was short-listed in 2008 as a candidate to one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature by the New Seven Wonders of the World Foundation. As of February 2009 the Amazon was ranking first in Group E, the category for forests, national parks and nature reserves. Check this video recorded from Air in Leticia - Amazonas - Colombia.
