 RPGnet: Review of Amazonas
The components of Amazonas are all very pretty (though not exactly beautiful because of the large amount of information contained within), high quality, and well designed for easy use.
First of all, Amazonas is a considerably heavier game than Ticket to Ride: I'd label it as medium-weight while Ticket to Ride is definitely light-weight.
As a set-collection game, Amazonas is related to Rummy and many other classics.

 WWF | Amazon | Conservation Results | Amazonas Protected Areas
The Brazilian State of Amazonas, by far the largest state in the Brazilian Amazon with some of its most intact forest and diverse landscapes, announced recently the designation of a mosaic of protected areas covering 7.5 million acres in the southern part of the state.
The measure is intended to protect viable portions of the biological diversity of the region, and at the same time it will help contain the unregulated advance of the agricultural frontier and the illegal invasion of public land in the region, helping to bring under control the deforestation that would otherwise occur.
According to Eduardo Braga, governor of Amazonas State, the creation of these protected areas "is a commitment by the state to the conservation of biodiversity and the improvement of the quality of life of our people who depend on the forest."

Arthur P. Nazro, San Francisco’s executive officer, was detached from his ship and reported on board Amazonas to command her for the voyage to the United States.
Over the next nine days, Amazonas prepared for sea, and loaded stores of various kinds, as well as ammunition for her magazines and a consignment of cordite and fl gunpowder for the War Department.
Interestingly, she had apparently been assigned that name upon acquisition from the Brazilians, but word of the change, in the days of somewhat less-than-rapid means of communication, did not catch up with her before she left England.

I would, however, place Amazonas above Ticket to Ride in the lineup as it has more "meat on the bones." There is more strategy, choices and player interaction in this well balanced game.
Amazonas is not a deep game, being more of a middle-weight game along the lines of Ticket to Ride.
I think that Amazonas is a good example of how an abstract game can really be changed.
