The Amazon Rainforest is located in the upper section of Brazil south of the Equator. The Amazon River is located 2 to 4 degrees south of the Equator. This is a Tropical  Rainforest instead of a Temperate Rainforest or a Fossil Rainforest. It is a Tropical Rainforest because of the climate and its location near the equator. It is very humid and wet so there are lots of places for bugs!  Some insects spread diseases.  You can visit our map page for a small map picture of the Amazon in Brazil.  To get to the map page you can follow the link here.  Here's how to get to the map page.
