Brazil Rain Forest

Brazil Parks

Caatinga or white forest are the dry interior old forest of Brazil. The leguminous trees such as catingueiras, juremas, and joazeiros are found here. This is in contrast with Southern Brazil which has very dense expansive rain forests stretching from the Amazon River to the Paraguay River. These forests have very high rainfalls, usually in the area of 70 inches or more per year. Another rain forest area is the area of araucaria stretching from the Parana River to Northern Argentina.
