Brazil is the largest country in South America, located along the eastern coast. It has a diverse landscape that includes the Amazon River basin and rainforests in the north, as well as temperate forests, savannas, and semi-arid deserts. Brazil has over 200 million people and a biodiverse ecosystem, with the most known species of plants and freshwater fish. Some of Brazil's most notable landmarks include the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro and the massive Iguazu Falls located along the border with Argentina. Brazil also has many beautiful beaches dotted along its extensive coastline that are popular tourist destinations.
South America lies between latitudes 12° north and 55° south, and longitudes 35° west and 81° west. It is connected to North America and bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean, which are joined by the Panama Canal. South America contains numerous countries including Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina. The continent's physical features include the Andes Mountains, eastern highlands, and central lowlands.
The Andes mountains run along the western coast of South America and are the longest continental mountain range and highest range outside of Asia. The Amazon rainforest covers most of the Amazon Basin in South America and is a moist broadleaf forest. Patagonia is a sparsely populated region at the southern end of South America shared by Argentina and Chile, comprising the southern Andes mountains as well as deserts, steppes, and grasslands to the east.
Colombia has a diverse climate ranging from cold in the Andes mountains to warm along the coasts, influenced by trade winds and rain zones. It has a variety of flora and fauna, being one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. Traditional Colombian foods vary by region but include sancocho, arepa, and ajiaco. Colombian music also varies regionally, with rhythms like cumbia, porro, and vallenato. Education ranges from preschool to university, overseen by the Ministry of Education. While most practice Catholicism, some are Protestant.

It is over 6,400 km long with the largest watershed of any river, containing over 200 tributaries originating from the Andes Mountains across five countries. The massive Amazon River meets the Atlantic Ocean, modifying the color and salinity of the ocean for over 320 km before emptying its waters into the sea.
The Amazon River is the largest river basin in the world, covering over 6.9 million square kilometers in South America. During the rainy season, the river averages 40 meters deep and 40 kilometers wide, and the area covered by its water more than triples. The flooded area of the Amazon Basin rises to 350,000 square kilometers at its peak, and the river can reach 45 kilometers wide. The Amazon Rainforest is home to over one third of all species in the world and the river itself contains over 3,000 recognized fish species.
