The Amazon rainforest spreads across nine countries, Brazil, Suriname, Peru, Ecuador, Columbia, Venezuela, French Guiana, Bolivia and Guyana. The Amazon river is 6 992 km long and contains more water than the Mississippi, Nile and Yangtze combined.
The name Amazon was given by Spanish explorer Francisco Orellana. More than 20% of the world’s oxygen is produced in the Amazon rainforest.
