It is said that looking at things that are green relaxes the eyes; imagine how relaxed your body will be when you are in such a place! Listening to the trees talk as leaves bustle when the breeze blows through them and the rivers making their way through the rough rocks and smooth pebbles like it is no big deal for them because they do that everyday, just freely flowing, without any inhibitions in the tranquil rain-forests that provide shelter to a number of creatures and oxygen turnover, especially the tropical ones, that bestow environmental value to our planet, is such a delight to the senses. The world you live in offers some, where you can see nature evolve with your own eyes. So, take some time off your work and visit these amazing rain-forests to rejuvenate.
