PERU AMAZON RAINFOREST

Peru is surely an astonishing country when it comes to the different landscapes that you will find within its borders. Visitors who don’t have much time to travel in Peru might find themselves struggling with the decision of where to go and what to do. Generally, the decision comes down to whether or not you want to relax at one of Peru’s beaches, explore its famed ruins, trek its majestic peaks, or explore its astonishing Amazon Jungle. If you love animals, crave the great outdoors, or want an environment that is sure to impress you, heading to the Amazon in Peru will certainly not let you down should you decide to go there. Just don’t wander too far off the beaten path. You might not make it home to tell all your Peru travel stories.

☼ AMAZON TOP ATTRACTIONS

lf you are not yet intrigued enough to explore the options for an Amazon Peru vacation, consider these mind-boggling facts. The Amazon Jungle is as big as the Australian continent. It is found in 8 different South American countries, and it has almost one-quarter of all the Earth’s species of plants. There are more than 60,000 different species of tropical plants here, and around 4,000 species of trees. If you were to wander parts of the Amazon Rainforest, it would not be rare for you to come across some 300 separate species of trees in one single acre..

☼ AMAZON ANIMALS

Try this in a forest in the United States, and you will be lucky to find more than 15. There are over 14,500 species of animals living within the Amazon Jungle. Pink dolphins and 600 lb. lowland tapirs are just some of the specimens you will come across if you decide to make a trip down to the Amazon in Peru. Unfortunately, the Amazon Jungle continues to disappear at a rate that is, for lack of a better word, frustrating. Though attempts are being made to conserve it, what you might see today could be gone tomorrow. So, book your trip now for the Amazon in Peru and enjoy this amazing part of our planet while you can still enjoy it in all its glory.

☼ AMAZON ADVENTURE

There are tons of different options for Amazon Peru tours and vacation packages, most of which have you staying at least one night in an Amazon Jungle lodge. From Cusco, those seeking adventure in the Amazon Jungle generally head to Manu National Park. It is here that you will arguably see the most diverse scale of animal and plant species. Good choices for an Amazon Jungle lodge in Manu are the Manu Wildlife Center, and the Manu Lodge. Highlights in Manu include the large parrot and macaw clay-licks

☼ IQUTOS AMAZON

Further north, the river city of Iquitos is another popular base for Amazon Peru vacations. The city itself is a joy to explore, and river cruises here are among the most popular pursuits. If you are visiting Iquitos, you might look for Amazon Jungle packages that have you staying in the award-winning Yarapa River Lodge. It is often hailed as the best Amazon Jungle lodge in Peru. You might also consider starting your Amazon Jungle adventure in Puerto Maldonado, which is usually reached by airplane from either Lima or Cusco. If you are staying at an Amazon Jungle lodge here, a guide will likely meet you at the airport, and then accompany you by van and boat to the site.

 

☼ SHOPPING

AMAZON Shopping: Mitts and Hats to match

More shopping in AMAZON too ???? Actually we liked shopping at a little pedistrian shopping area. that runs fromthe Plaza de Armas to the Parque Pino. Lots of deals and as in most areas, you get a better price if you buy quanity.

 

Street shops: Good sovenir shopping

Other VTers have written stating that the Lima Street shops are good to go to and where the deals are. I agree with them, but I also want to add that a better deal are the side street shops directly next to the dock where you board the boats to the Uros floating islands. What to buy: Just the same Alpaca wool products, bamboo pipes, trinkets. Not as good a selection as Agua Caliente but a bit cheaper.

 

central market:

The best place you gotta visit if you need to buy somehting is the central market. Here you can find whatever you need...caps, tshirts, jackets, pullovers and so on...and for sure, also the hojas de coca, which was very good for us coming from the "lower level"

☼ AMAZON Transportation

Andean Explorer

It is possible to fly (Manco Capac airport in Juliaca) or drive to AMAZON, but another option is to take the 'Andean Explorer' from Cusco. 'Andean Explorer' is a luxury (and tourist) train operated by Peru Rail.

 

A Scenic Train Ride To AMAZON

The stunningly scenic route through the Andean plains is well worth the full day trip (from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.). The backpacker service without the meals is affordably priced at $19; however, they don't take pre-reservations for this.Inca Express

☼ Getting around AMAZON

There are 4 basic kinds of public transportation in AMAZON-- Buses are cheapsest; taxis most expensive; but the other 2 are inexpensive and fun. Moto taxis have a 2-person carriage attached to a motorcycle. Bike taxis are very similar, but pedal-powered and a bit cheaper.
