Where the Earth breathes

Amazon

Why do you know where the Earth breathes?

The Amazon is like a great living being, and it is indeed the epicentre where the Earth breathes

For decades the Amazon has been described as “the lung of the world” because it maintains the balance between the absorption of carbon-dioxide (CO2) from the environment and the release of oxygen we need to live. No matter what corner of the world we find ourselves breathing in, the Amazon produces 20% of the oxygen we need.

The Amazon región, including the river, its tributaries, and forests, is a vast and complex system of plants and animals that circulate much of the planet’s air. From the land, the gigantic trees with branches and leafy treetops carry countless large and tiny animal species and host exotic flora. The abundant rains feed the singular Amazonian green, synonymous with life and full existence.

For these reasons, knowing the Amazon is a great privilege and opportunity. You can experience and enjoy the wild nature and the simple and beautiful lifestyles of its people in this pure and rustic place.

Explosion of life

The Amazon región includes seven million square kilometres of tropical forest producing an exceptional and diverse ecosystem. Its water and oxygen help link live all over the world. The magnitude of biodiversity is proportional to the immense size. The Amazon River is the longest and most plentiful in the world with 6,992 kilometres of length, and the largest watershed on the planet.

Precisely because of its relevance it was declared by the New 7 Wonders Foundation as the seventh natural wonder of the world, in November 2011. In this ecosystem, it contemplates that there are around 40,000 species of plants, 1,300 species of birds (20% of the world’s species), 3,000 kinds of fish, more than two million different insects, 430 types of mammals.

In human terms, diversity is also essential. There are between 400 and 500 indigenous communities, of which it is estimated that 50% have not had contact with the outside.  Also, they compose heterogeneous linguistic groups.

An encounter with the seventh natural wonder of the world

Colombia is one of the three countries blessed by the passage of the Amazon River, along with Peru and Brazil. Besides, Colombia is one of the nine countries that share the Amazon region. Colombia has made a significant commitment to preserve and care of this green treasure in all its dimensions. One way to protect it is to show and share its grandeur directly.

Since last decade this Colombian part of the Amazon has opened to the world, promoting tourism among Colombians as well as foreigners.  Due to the knowledge and values of the team of Amazon B&B and our guests, we have heard the most passionate expressions about the meaning of this experience. The vast majority of visitors have gained renewed perspective on life – a powerful gift printed on the memory.

Anyone can reach Amazon and experience its natural glory with Amazon B&B. We offer a reliable refuge for the tourist along with respect for the unique environment. Our hotel also seeks a balance between providing the best of this destination and the obligation to maintain the most friendly and protective behaviours of this generous explosion of life. Every day we celebrate life where the Earth breathes.
