A large part of Peru is covered by a thick rainforest with numerous rivers flowing through it. The small streams bring their waters to larger rivers that converge here, coming from the South and North of Peru. It´s in this bustling, vibrant ecosystem that the great Amazon River is born.
Iquitos is a large city hidden in the Peruvian Amazon. It was once famous because of the rubber boom. The city sits right in the heart of the Amazon plain. Close by, numerous ecolodges offer a variety of experiences that allow you to reconnect with the biodiversity and Mother Earth.
To the South from Iquitos, in Nauta, the Amazon River is born. This place is a doorway to the great natural reserve of Pacaya Samiria. Cruise expeditions and nearby ecolodges invite you to enjoy nature in its purest state.
