Peru Rainforest Exploration Travel Guide

Highlights of the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest

The densely jungled Amazon is a hotspot for biodiversity, with more species of plants and animals in one acre than most entire continents have. Explore wildlife-rich national parks in Peru including Manu Wildlife Center, Tambopata National Reserve, and Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. With a stay in the Peruvian Amazon, this incredible nature is at the heart of any tour.

Here are a few of the many exciting activities that will be featured on your Amazon itinerary:
  • Cruising rivers and lakes in a dugout canoe
  • Kayaking alongside pink river dolphins
  • Fishing for piranhas
  • Swimming in black water lagoons
  • Looking for monkeys and other wildlife
  • World-class birding
  • Climbing through the canopy on rope walks or towers
  • Canoeing to see Clay Licks and Oxbow Lakes
  • Meeting Indigenous people

 

Regions of the Amazon Rainforest

Lowland Jungle: Peru's largest zone, with 260-1300 ft (80 to 400 m). Climate: warm (82°F/28°C average), humid, and rainy all year. The Amazon River flows across Peru's lowland jungles of Putumayo, Ucayali, Maraón, and Pastaza.

Highland Jungle: Peru's high forest is found in the Andes' eastern foothills, at altitudes ranging from 1,300 to 3,280 ft (400 to 1000 m). The climate in the highland jungle is cooler than in the lowland jungle. The area is more secluded from the rest of the Amazon and other places, attracting rare animal species.
