The Daintree Rainforest is the oldest tropical rainforest on Earth, dating back an incredible 180 million years—it’s been around since the time of the dinosaurs! That makes it much older than the Amazon Rainforest, which is a "mere" 55 million years old. This ancient ecosystem is like a natural time capsule, filled with plants and animals that have existed for millions of years, many of which can’t be found anywhere else. Walking through the Daintree is like stepping back in time to a prehistoric world!
