Popular tourist sites can be hit or miss. Some are exaggerated up by tour operators and end up being a big letdown for tourists; others live up to the hype, and then, of course, some destinations are vastly underrated for their cool factor. To me, the Meeting of the Waters to form the Amazon River by Manaus, Brazil lives up to the hype.

Describing encounters with rarities, or even scarce birds, is much more appealing than common everyday birds, or noting outings when little of special interest is seen.
