Tambopata National Reserve, Peru

Those brave enough to step out over this suspension bridge will be treated to a macaw"s-eye view of the Amazon rainforest, on which the survival of life on Earth depends. The vast Amazon biome, which spans 2.6 million square miles—an area twice the size of India—stores enormous amounts of carbon and supports approximately 10% of all known animal and plant species on Earth.
