One-fifth of all freshwater on the planet flows through the rivers of the Amazon basin. It also supports most of the ecosystem and biodiversity of the country within its basin. The Amazon River is home to hundreds of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/animals-of-brazil\/\">wildlife<\/a>&nbsp;in the Amazon region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Brazilian National Water Agency, the Amazon river alone has enough water production to supply 74% of Brazil\u2019s freshwater demand. Needless to say, Rio Amazonas is the most important of all rivers in Brazil. And that is not only because of its greatness but also for its volume of water and for being a powerful source of energy for thousands of species of animals and plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rio_Parana\"><\/span>Rio Paran\u00e1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/rio-parana-rios-brasil.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/rio-parana-rios-brasil.jpg\" alt=\"rio parana rios brasil\" class=\"wp-image-76822\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rio Paran\u00e1 is part of the Paran\u00e1 Basin, one of the most important basins of Brazil. It is also home to the Itaip\u00fa Dam in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/foz-do-iguacu-in-brazil\/\">Foz do Igua\u00e7u<\/a>. The Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Plant is the largest generator of hydroelectric power in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the Paran\u00e1 River is the second-longest river in Brazil and in South America, measuring 3,942 km. Rio Paran\u00e1 also serves as a border for Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. From the Three Borders Landmark, an obelisk and tourist spot located in Foz do Igua\u00e7u, it is possible to observe the river crossing all three countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rio_Sao_Francisco\"><\/span>Rio S\u00e3o Francisco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/rio-sao-francisco-brazil-river.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/rio-sao-francisco-brazil-river.jpg\" alt=\"rio sao francisco brazil river\" class=\"wp-image-76819\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Known as Velho Chico (Old Chico), the San Francisco River is the largest river that runs entirely within the Brazilian territory. With a length of 2,914 kilometers, this river originates in the state of Minas Gerais, crosses Bahia, and washes into the Atlantic Ocean, bordering the states of Alagoas and Sergipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rio S\u00e3o Francisco is a special river for the Northeast Region of Brazil. It crosses a semi-arid region of the country which often suffers from droughts. Because of that, the San Francisco River is an important asset for people and animals living in the surrounding areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Rio S\u00e3o Francisco is in danger because of years of mining, deforestation, erosion, and siltation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rio_Tocantins\"><\/span>Rio Tocantins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/rio-tocantins-brazil.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/rio-tocantins-brazil.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76820\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tocantins River is one of the most important rivers for river transportation in Brazil, flowing through Goi\u00e1s, Tocantins, Maranh\u00e3o, and Par\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tocantins River Basin is home to several species of animals, including 350 species of fishes, 175 of which are endemic. It is also home to the Amazonian manatee, the Araguaian river dolphin, the spectacled caiman, and the yellow-spotted river turtle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rio_Negro_and_Rio_Solimoes\"><\/span>Rio Negro and Rio Solim\u00f5es<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/rio-negro-solimoes-rivers-brazil.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/rio-negro-solimoes-rivers-brazil.jpeg\" alt=\"rio negro solimoes rivers brazil\" class=\"wp-image-76821\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Meeting of Waters is an astonishing natural phenomenon in the Amazon region. It is also one of the main tourist attractions in Manaus, the capital city of Amazonas state. The Meeting of Waters, or Encontro das \u00c1guas in Portuguese, is the confluence between the dark Rio Negro and the muddy Rio Solim\u00f5es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the differences in temperature, speed, and sediments, their waters do not mix and the two rivers run parallel for miles until they finally become one. When doing a boat tour through the rivers, it is possible to feel the different temperatures between them and check their uniqueness in speed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_about_Rio_de_Janeiro\"><\/span>How about Rio de Janeiro?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rio de Janeiro is actually named after a river that doesn\u2019t even exist. That\u2019s right! When the Portuguese first came to Rio de Janeiro in 1502, they thought the Guanabara Bay was a river mouth. It was January and so they named the city Rio de Janeiro (River of January in English).
