Into the Jungle


As your travel east of the Andean mountain range you arrive at the beginnings of the great Amazon basin. Iquitos claims to be the largest city (half a million inhabitants) not reached by road and is an ideal departure point for luxury cruises up the Amazon.

The frontier town of Puerto Maldonado serves as your entry point to the Madre de Dios river system and the world class lodges that immerse you in this much more subdued and exclusive region of the Peruvian Amazon. Our recommended Jungle Lodges provide you with expert guides and naturalists, while at the same time providing chefs and masseuses to rival any urban setting.

Finally, the Manu National Park, declared an UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, offers some of the best biodiversity in the Amazon and can be enjoyed via a more rustic excursion.
