Amazonian

From the basin

Amazonian refers to the Amazon River, the Amazon rainforest, or the broader Amazon basin in South America: Amazonian biodiversity, Amazonian tribes.

The word also evokes the Amazons of Greek mythology—a nation of women warriors—so an Amazonian woman is tall, strong, and athletic: She had an Amazonian build.
