The tallest tower in South America

Oddly enough, but the tallest tower in South America is not in one of the many large cities of the continent, and in the depths of impenetrable jungle of the Amazon. The nearest city of Manaus is more than 170 kilometers.





Amazon Tall Tower Observatory - is the name of the tower and at the moment is the last stage of its construction. It is expected that construction will be a record height of 325 meters. This is a joint project of the Brazilian and German research institutes. On the tower will be installed a large number of high-tech equipment that will capture different data for the study of the interaction of the Amazon forest and the atmosphere.
