Where to go in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest
The Peruvian Amazon divides into two broad regions, each reached by its own gateway city. In the north, Iquitos, the largest city on earth with no road in, sits on the main Amazon River and opens onto the vast flooded forests of the Pacaya-Samiria reserve, best explored by riverboat. In the south, Puerto Maldonado gives access to the Tambopata reserve and Manu National Park, a stretch of Madre de Dios that ranks among the most biodiverse places on the planet, where clay licks draw hundreds of macaws and oxbow lakes shelter giant otters. It is the wild heart of Guided Peru tours within the wider South America tours.
What to do in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest
Days in the jungle revolve around its extraordinary life. Guided walks and night excursions turn up monkeys, sloths and caimans and, with patience, the macaws that mass at the clay licks, making the region one of the best in the world for wildlife tours and, for birders, an unrivalled place with well over a thousand species. On the water, riverboat cruises and dugout canoes carry you into flooded forest and out to oxbow lakes where pink dolphins surface, the pick of the Amazon’s water tours, and the fishing for piranha and peacock bass is excellent.
When to go to the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest
Visiting the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest during the right season enhances the experience. The dry season (May to September) is best for hiking and spotting wildlife, with easier access to remote areas. The wet season (October to April) turns the region into a waterworld, great for boat tours and fishing.
