2. The Amazon River is in South America and is the second longest
river in the world. The river is on Brazil’s border and is a relative
of Brazil, Peru, and Columbia. The Amazon River is 4,000 miles
long and is the chief river of South America. It carries more water
than other rivers. The Amazon River got it’s name from the
nearby area.
3. The Amazon River has exciting cities like Ilha kind of off the side of
South America. A city named Belem is known for it’s Goeldi Museum,
which displays origins, history, culture, traditions, and animal
collections of the Amazon Basin.
4. Santa Alexandre, Belem’s oldest church was
completed in 1616. 70% of Brazilians are Roman
Catholic; the others are Christian. Belem is the
chief port of the vast Amazon River Basin. North
Brazil’s largest airport and coastal railroad
enhance the trade of Belem.
5. It has an open-air market. Brazil covers nearly half of South
America, and is the continent’s largest nation. They spend most
of their time outdoors because of the beautiful weather. Music
and dancing are popular pastimes. The Brazilian samba is the
national dance.
6. The cities of Santarem, Sao Paulo, Fort Aleza, Brasilia and
Curitiba are also on the Amazon. The languages they speak are
Spanish, German, and Brazilian. Indians live in the Amazon River.
That's why I think the Amazon River is so amazing.
