1. Amazon River (Peru – Brazil)
The Amazon’s natural beauty and biodiversity attract tourists in search of exotic adventures, which is why the rafting in the Amazon river rapids is one of the most searched activities. The river and its tributaries possess whitewater rapids from grade III to IV. However, this region can be just as dangerous as it is beautiful. Its waters hide many of the scariest creatures on the planet, like the piranha, carnivorous fish, that may attack livestock and even humans. On the other hand one of the world’s largest species of snakes, Anaconda snakes, is found in the shallow parts of this river and they are particularly agile in the water (there are known cases of attacks to people). Another creature to watch out for is the electric eel, which is capable of generating up to 600 volts through its electrolyte cells. It lives in the murky depths of the river, and there have been reported numerous encounters with human beings. For all these reasons the Amazon river is at the top of our list of the scariest deadliest rivers in the world.
