The Amazon
Enter the Peruvian Amazon and the world seems to shift. Rivers replace roads, the air fills with unfamiliar sounds and an extraordinary diversity of life reveals itself everywhere you look.
Explore the rainforest from a remote lodge or travel its waterways by boat, accompanied by expert naturalist guides. Watch monkeys move through the canopy, search for colourful tropical birds and caimans, spot pink river dolphins or venture into the forest to discover the remarkable plants, insects and wildlife hidden beneath its dense green layers.
From Iquitos and the waterways of the northern Amazon to the forests of Tambopata in the south, each region offers a different way to experience this immense wilderness. Meet local communities, learn about traditional uses of rainforest plants, paddle quiet tributaries or simply listen as the jungle comes alive after dark.
Wild, vibrant and endlessly surprising, the Amazon offers something increasingly rare: the feeling of being completely immersed in nature.
The magic of the Amazon isn’t just in the bigger animals and the immense trees; there is so much richness of life in each square meter—the termites and spiders and butterflies—all part of a mind-blowing ecosystem. A far leap from the modern world, delight in the deep sense of peace and perspective offered by the lodges of this region, where YOU get to be slow and still while everything around you is moving and breathing, in a stunning symbiosis that reminds us of the power and magic of nature.
