In the wet season, 350,000 square kilometers of the Amazon basin can be covered in flooded forest. Areas surrounding The River's tributaries get so full of water during winter that the water level can rise up to 9 meters.

| There is supposed to be the white sand beach of Alter-do-Chao for at least 100 m towards the camera and promenade.(And I think the bungalows are supposed to be dry) |
To put that into perspective, imagine a flood that completely covers Montana to a height of 30 feet.
And during the dry season, 110,000 square kilometers can be flooded, which is only the size of Virginia.
We traveled down The River during the dry season but were told that the wet season was unusually strong upriver, causing unusually high flood waters.
