Amazonas Peruano

The Peruvian Amazon is one of the richest and most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Peru harbors 10% of the world's mammal species, 20% of birds and 10% of reptiles, the vast majority in the Amazon basin. Cities like Iquitos (Loreto) are the gateway to a jungle that holds millennial secrets.

Iquitos is the largest city in the world with no road access: it can only be reached by plane or by boat along the Amazon River. From here depart the most epic tours to Amazon lodges, where it is possible to spot pink dolphins, anacondas, caimans, monkeys and hundreds of bird species in their natural habitat.

For travelers seeking a deeper experience, jungle lodges like the Treehouse Lodge on the Yarapa River offer accommodation high in the trees, night walks, piranha fishing, visits to native communities and the possibility of completely disconnecting from the modern world in one of the last natural paradises on Earth.
