While our travel plans may be on hold at the moment, it’s really important that we all still keep thinking, dreaming and talking about travel. Rainforest Cruises decided to turn their hand to a little bit of data analysis and find out which rivers around the world are the most popular according to Instagram.
Company scoured Instagram to find how many times over 1,000 of the largest and most iconic rivers in the world had been hashtagged on the photo sharing site.
Coming out in the top spot is the River Thames. As for the Amazon and Mekong, surprisingly the Amazon ranked in 31st place – given its iconic status and the fact that it is the second longest river in the world we expected to see it higher. Of course it’s not quite as accessible as many of the city-based rivers which ranked near the top.
The Mekong ranked very highly in 12th place. The Mekong river is one of the largest rivers in Asia, traversing South East Asia taking in China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
