Amazon. It's on your bucket list, or you wouldn't be here. A vastness of green with an arterial network of white, black, and clearwater rivers. Bigger than Europe. The size of the lower 48. The largest rainforest in the known multiverse. Magical, imperiled, accessible, incredible. And you haven't been? We can make it happen - and by traveling with us, you will be contributing to the preservation of the Amazon rainforest, its flora, fauna and people.
The Peruvian AmazonCloser and more accessible than most people imagine.
Our hub of Iquitos, Peru (airport code IQT), is served by 12 to 15 flights daily from Lima (LIM), Peru.
Peru is a global tourism magnet. The highlands of Peru, with locations like Cusco, Machu Picchu (a “bucket-list” site!), Huaraz, Arequipa, and Lake Titicaca are prime attractions. The Amazon portions of Peru (~60% of the country) are also seeing vastly increased visitation.
A booming economy, a vibrant democracy, free press, and the lack of visa requirements for most visitors have all encouraged tourism. A common reaction among visitors is to comment on how welcoming and friendly Peruvians are, and how anxious they are to "show off" the natural and cultural wonders of their country. The growing reputation of Peruvian cuisine has certainly helped as well.
Our trips support the Amazon humanitarian and conservation activities of Project Amazonas, a US-Peruvian nonprofit organization. We are delighted to share this beautiful part of South America with you.
