Description

Clouds float over the Amazon Rainforest 120 miles (193 km) outside of Manaus, Brazil. This particular location lies within the Rio Negro State Park North Section, a more than 360,000-acre (146,000-hectare) protected area of which 87% is classified as dense rainforest. About 30 families live in the park; most are descendants of indigenous groups who make a living growing crops like bananas and cassava.
