The world's "fiercest" river, with 15,000 tributaries, so far there is not a bridge on the river
On Earth, rivers are a very important part of the world and people usually live on water. The banks of rivers are often the beginnings of human civilization. Beautiful bridges are shown over many rivers, some of them quite wide, which greatly facilitates people's access and life.
But in South America, there is a world-famous river. No bridges were built over this river because the current was so large and wide. Even today, with the advancement of science and technology, there is still a bit of helplessness in the face of this river.
Considered one of the seven new natural landscapes of the world, the Amazon River is located in Brazil, South America. It is the largest river in the world, with the widest basin and the largest number of tributaries, with a length of more than 6,400 kilometers. In terms of length, it is the second largest river in the world, after the Nile in Egypt, but this river is huge and has an incredible volume of water.
Although it flows mainly through Brazil, it actually flows through many South American countries, as well as Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Guyana and others.
Why is the Amazon so long, but its water flow is so high? The main reason is that the Amazon has many, many tributaries. Many rivers in South America eventually flow into the Amazon. According to incomplete statistics, the number of tributaries of the Amazon River has reached a staggering 15,000, arguably the largest number of tributaries in the world.
It is because of the high current of the Amazon that there are no real bridges over this river. The reason for this is that it is very difficult to build bridges over this river. In addition, there are so many rivers in this huge area that there is little benefit in building a bridge. Sometimes it is better to use airplanes or ships to make it more comfortable and faster.
The Amazon has a large tropical rainforest known as the "Land of the Dragons". It is also the most mysterious, poorest and scariest place in the world, because this rainforest is almost all virgin forest. There are not only many plants and animals, but also mysterious primitive tribes. Because of this, the area where the Amazon River is located has become a paradise for explorers and adventurers.
