I can't even believe that's on our planet. Absolutely gorgeous.

This is a real picture from Yasuni National Park in eastern Ecuador.

[–]isJohnny 3 points4 points ago

Looks like a perfect place to put a new city!

[–]Sphik 11 points12 points ago

This is not the longest river in the world... This is a tribute..tary

[–]vickewire 4 points5 points ago

I'm in amazonas right now, anybody knows where in amazonas this is taken?

[–]Icyballs 6 points7 points ago

Yasuni National Park in eastern Ecuador.

Looks like an awesome place to go swimming. Sadly I'd be reminded of the movie The Rundown and supposedly how they have parasites that swim up your urethra...

[–]surfnaked 2 points3 points ago

Best wear a rubber.

[–]Smilemon 1 point2 points ago

Those exist. I went swimming in the Yasuni, and I was terrified the entire time.

Amazon Prime.

The land that time forgot.

I've been to this exact spot. I visited the Cofan tribe of zabalo and spent over a week with the tribe deep in the Amazon jungle. They are still battling Chevron in one of the largest environmental lawsuits in history. "Crude" is a documentary about what they are doing right now. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

Too bad this is just a tribut... ary

[–]foresthill 0 points1 point ago

One more reason not to mess with the water cycle.

[–]Averance 0 points1 point ago

So you're telling me, there's a river named after Amazon?

[–]addictedtomeme 1 point2 points ago

You should see the newegg river in Tennesee.

[–]TheFourthDoor 0 points1 point ago

Does anyone else see the face of a cat?

Cascada de San Rafael (San Rafael Falls), in Napo Ecuador. Coordinates are -0.104303, -77.580967.

Interesting tidbit: the crater of the most frequently active volcano in Ecuador (Reventador) is only 8km (5 miles) away from the falls, and was probably responsible for forming the waterfall in the first place.

I fucking love this planet

[–]Very_Sadly_True 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else thinks it looks a little... off? Not sure what, just looks a tad odd

[–]Ishtar3 4 points5 points ago

I think you're just jaded by the Internet.

[–]awisepenguin 1 point2 points ago

I think the sky looks a bit odd, but I'm not entirely sure if its shopped or not.

[–]rapidtransit 0 points1 point ago

Artifacts of a long shutter speed?

[–]gobearsandchopin -2 points-1 points ago

This is just a tributary, to the greatest lake in the world.

[–]murgginator -3 points-2 points ago

I think you mean, an "amazin" river tributary
