As a film expert with a deep knowledge of cinema production, I can tell you that the movie "Anaconda" was primarily shot in the Amazon rainforest. The film, which was released in 1997, is an adventure horror film that follows a group of documentary filmmakers who, while on a mission in the Amazon jungle, encounter a snake hunter and eventually come face to face with a giant anaconda.

The shooting locations for "Anaconda" were chosen for their authenticity and the dense, lush environment that the Amazon provides, which was crucial for creating the film's atmosphere. The production took place in various parts of the rainforest, particularly in Brazil. Some specific locations within Brazil included the Igapó region, which is known for its unique flooded forests, and the city of Manaus, which is a major city in the Amazon region and served as a base for the production.
