The Amazon rainforest is a vast and vibrant ecosystem teeming with life. It covers an area larger than

prime destination for tourists seeking a unique and unforgettable experience. However, traditional tourism
can have a negative impact on this delicate environment. Ecotourism offers a more sustainable alternative,

importance and the threats it faces.
Staying in eco-lodges built with local materials minimizes disruption to the ecosystem. These lodges

rainforest's preservation. Ecotourism also supports local businesses that sell traditional crafts and products,
promoting cultural exchange and economic growth.
