Sight From the moment I walked into the camp, the lushness of the rainforest surrounded me. Smell I forced myself to bathe in the creek-temperature shower. Sound Daytime sounds included voices speaking Spanish and English, the clucks of the chickens as they wandered looking for insects to eat, and the occasional bark of a camp dog. I know that the environment is very different than the mountains, woods, and fields with which I am familiar, but what kinds of sounds, sights and smells might one experience deep in the Amazon?
First of all, the Amazon is a very humid, wet place. Some parts of the rainforest experience constant rain during the rainy season from December to March. With the dense canopy above, you might not feel much direct rain, but water filters its way down, dripping off leaves and making its way to the ground.
Flowers, decaying vegetation, soil, wood, and leaves all produce scents that come together to create something like the smells you might have experienced in a greenhouse full of lots of different kinds of plants [1]. The strong smells of flowers attract pollinators like bats, moths, and other insects [2].
The rainforest is teeming with animals and insects, so you would hear a concert of humming, thrumming, buzzing and chirping. Frogs, cicadas, howler monkeys, and birds make some of the loudest rainforest sounds. Some of these have cries that reach up to decibels, which is louder than a military jet! Fallen trees, brambles, rocks, and dead leaves make the ground hard to travel through. Even in the understory where very little light can penetrate all the way down through the canopy to the forest floor, there is high diversity of ferns, small flowering plants, and insects.
You might also see some plants you recognize from your own home: philodendrons, ferns, and zebra plants all prefer warm, low-light conditions so they make great houseplants! But reading about it and trying to connect it to real experiences can make it feel less like an abstract place. Google street view recently went into a dense area of jungle in Brazil, at the Juma Sustainable Development Reserve; you can explore that here.
