Hey folks,
Here is a super cool video from a vlogger in Romania (Eastern Europe) called "ATB's Night Watch - The Blue Planet". The music genre is electronica/trance from a German DJ artist named Andre Tanneberger (ATB).
This video is a fantastic music journey that starts at the source of the Amazon, the Peruvian Andes, goes through the Peruvian Amazon River, then the Brazilian Amazon River, and finally ends at the mouth of the mighty river in the Atlantic Ocean!
For those that have traveled to the South American Amazon, you can see that the video starts at Nevado Mismi in the Peruvian Andes, the certified and actual source of the Amazon River & Rainforest, and travels with the water flow from the glacial stream on the Mismi into the Quebradas Carhasanta and Apacheta, which flow into the Rio Apurimac which is a tributary of the Ucayali which later joins the Maranon to form the Amazon proper.
For observant eyes, you can see the Peruvian animals and birds: the Guanaco grazing near the Nevado Mismi, the mighty Condor (largest flying bird in the world) soaring over the Andes, and the tropical Macaws of Claw Lick, Peru.
From there the video goes through Iquitos, Peru and heads eastward just outside the big Brazilian river city of Manaus. The video follows the river and heads toward the Atlantic Sea and finally ends at the mouth of the might river, the Amazon estuary between Cabo do Norte and Punto Patijoca, Brazil.
This video is a quick time lapse journey of the #1 natural wonder of the world: The Amazon Rainforest & River - lung & main artery of the Earth! The Amazon River has more volume of water than the next 10 biggest rivers in the world combined!!!. 23% of the world's fresh flowing water. It is by far the biggest and now officially the longest river in the world.
In South America, the Amazon River is also called the River Sea (El Rio Mar).

A picture called "Indio Fortunato" (Now, I don't need to translate that! Do I?). This image was taken near Manaus, Brazil in the Amazon Rainforest. It was presented by Discovery Channel Photos. Huh, he looks intrigued and amused:
