The Peruvian Amazon, a vast and vital part of the Amazon Basin, encompasses nearly 60 percent of Peru, extending from the Andes Mountains to the borders of Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Colombia. This expansive region is divided into two distinct ecological zones: the lowland jungle and the highland jungle. Visitors can access this lush, biodiverse area through the main gateways of Iquitos and Puerto Maldonado, where they can explore the dense, vibrant forests and experience the rich tapestry of flora and fauna that thrive in this unique environment.
