What to do in Pacaya Samiria

Covering almost two thirds of Peru, the Amazon has a number of different reserves, and Pacaya Samiria is the largest and one of the most beautiful. Activities-wise, some of our favourite things to do include a float along the waterways by kayak or paddleboard, always keeping an eye out for pink river dolphins, or a hike through the forest (day or night), watching the branches come alive with sloths, monkeys, neon frogs and birdlife. Spend time with one of the local communities, learning about their history, traditions and, perhaps, purchasing some of their handiwork.
