Anybody ever been to the African or S American rainforests?

I went to Iguazu Falls last year. Argentina is an amazing country. But, I enjoyed Patagonia and Buenos Aires more than the rainforest during that trip.

I have been on the Amazon and around the Iquitos area in Peru. The Amazon itself is an amazing river, and I enjoyed swimming with pink river dolphins and fishing (with a cane pole) for piranha.

As the previous poster mentioned, Iguazu Falls is incredible -- I was there this February -- but it's not like you're going to tons of wildlife.

I've been to Belize and seen some monkeys, etc., but the amazing thing there was the ATM cave.

If you are looking to travel mainly to see wildlife in an amazing rainforest, let me recommend Panama. Sobernia National Park is only about 30 minutes away from Panama City, but it has amazing trees and all kinds of wildlife. I only spent one day in the park, but I saw things like blue morpho butterflies, two species of monkeys, coatis, mot-mots, amazing hummingbirds, toucans, and a lot more. Sobernia has the world's record for the most species of birds seen in one place in the same day.

Another rainforest experience that I haven't done but really want to is to visit the Mayan site of Tikal, in northern Guatemala. Tikal is right in the middle of a big rainforest, and people who stay in the lodges onsite usually see lots of wildlife, especially when they do the sunrise tours.

Sarapiqui Rainforest in Costa Rica was great
