Amazon Rainforest--South America
Encompassing nearly seven million square kilometers of land over nine South American nations, the Amazon Rainforest is the expansive home to some of the most unique flora and fauna in the world. The densely humid climate makes the Amazon the perfect home for countless animal species. A whole tenth of the world's known species live in the Amazon. The bizarre and dangerous alike make their homes within the lush greenery and warm rivers, creating a cacophony of noise throughout the jungle. Toucans, electric eels, glass frogs, and kinkajous live in close proximity, creating a diverse spread of ecology throughout the area.

End of the World Swing--Banos, Ecuador
What may look like a simple tree house is much more- This strange attraction in Banos, Ecuador is not for the faint of heart. The tree dangles a weak swing dangerously above a 2660 meter drop into a rocky chasm below. Many have ventured to the attraction for fun, but few have actually tried it out. And who could blame them? Visitors are advised to use the swing at their own risk- A drop from that height would be certainly fatal. With only a limp rope and velcro strap for safety, the swing is flimsy and dangerous. But the views available from the experience? Breathtaking.
