Peruvian Amazon



Although Peru is known for its plethora of archaeological remains that exist in the capital city of Lima, its beauty and richness delves deeper into its portion of the Amazon River Basin and through the foliage and denseness of the Amazon Rainforest. This zone, or department, of the Amazon that extends into Peru is known as the Amazonia, and the Peruvian part is known for its exceptional beauty because it remains close to its virgin, natural state. Due to its location in the tropics and relation to the equator, the Peruvian Amazon region contains an exuberant array of wildlife including both exotic and endangered species, tropical plants, a multitude of families of trees, and a rich quantity of flora and fauna which are rare to find in other parts of the world. The biodiversity of the areas numbers over 70% of the species living on this planet, giving its visitors the beauty and scenery of the world all in one trip.

The Peruvian Amazon offers more than just the dense jungle and wildlife of the Amazon river, but includes the mountain ranges in the southern provinces allowing visitors to explore and witness the captivating beauty of ice caps as they venture through the wilderness. For the adventurer, the Amazon of Peru offers visitors one not only the chance to marvel at the beauty of nature in its virgin form, but provides an opportunity to expand one's cultural and ecological horizons through visits to the cities and citadels of the Amazon, tours throughout the Amazon, and strolls through the Amazon's distinctive canopy walks.
