The tropics are home to the world's most verdant natural paradises - the rainforests. It is said that half of all species on earth live in rainforests and that 20 percent of our oxygen on the planet comes from the Amazon alone. We have put together these rainforest tours that put you right in the heart of these untamed jungles to allow you to witness it all up close. Climb giant kapok trees to the observation decks, canopy bridges, and zip lines; kayak and canoe on blackwater lakes alongside caiman crocodiles as you fish for piranhas; hike through the dry parts of the forest in search of land mammals and curious primates. There's no limit to what a rainforest tour and jungle trip might have in store for you, whether hiking the Amazon of Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia, the coastal jungles of Costa Rica, or the South Pacific. Start planning your rainforest travel today!
