The Amazon
Loreto - Madre de Dios
The Amazon River basin rainforest stands as one of the world’s most important natural sanctuaries. This immense river and its tributaries have carved out an unparalleled landscape that captivates with its enigmatic beauty. Equally remarkable is the culture of the people who call this region home, a culture profoundly influenced by a harmonious and balanced relationship with the natural world.
Spanning an impressive 6 million square kilometers across eight South American countries, it ranks as the largest tropical rainforest on the planet. Within the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest, the most extensive in South America, you’ll discover protected areas like Pacaya Samiria, Tambopata, and Manu. These reserves play a pivotal role in safeguarding the ecosystem and its inhabitants, including species nearing the verge of extinction.
