Discover the Peruvian Amazon: A Hidden World of Wildlife and Culture

The Peruvian Amazon provides travelers with an incredible expedition through Earth’s most biologically diverse region which unites dense jungle environments with thriving animal populations and genuine cultural encounters.

People who want to visit Peru usually think about seeing Machu Picchu, Cusco and Lake Titicaca. The Amazon region presents an alternative perspective of Peru through its natural and cultural elements which exist in a remote and captivating environment. The Peruvian Amazon provides a unique experience for travelers who want to explore beyond traditional tourist routes.

The Amazon River Exploration through Boat Travel

The Amazon River Marañón and Ucayali Rivers enable visitors to observe pink river dolphins, sloths, monkeys and colorful birds that live in the water habitats. The rainforest transforms into a reflective mirror surface during the high-water season which extends from December to May making it perfect for skiff and canoe exploration. The low-water season reveals jungle pathways that become visible when river levels decrease while providing access to rare animal sightings. The Pure Amazon 8-Day Low Water Season Expedition and Amazon Explorer High Water Season Cruise from Iquitos provide travelers with guided adventurous experiences that also deliver comfortable accommodations.
