Amazon, Peru

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Peruvian Amazon is one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, covering more than half of Peru's total land area and forming part of the world's largest tropical rainforest. It is home to an extraordinary array of wildlife — including jaguars, giant river otters, hundreds of bird species, and pink river dolphins — alongside indigenous communities who have inhabited the jungle for thousands of years. Travellers head here for jungle trekking, river expeditions, canopy walks, and wildlife spotting, typically using gateway cities like Iquitos or Puerto Maldonado as bases. The remote, untamed nature of the Amazon makes it a bucket-list destination for adventurous travellers and nature lovers alike.
