What to do in Peruvian Amazon

Entirely at odds to the rest of Peru, the lush forests of the Amazon cover nearly two thirds of the country. You'll spend your days hiking alongside howler monkeys, three-toed sloths and a dizzying amount of birdlife (and a whole different variety at night), floating along waterways where you may be joined by pink river dolphins, and stopping to watch the dazzling display of macaws and parrots at the clay licks. Set aside some time to learn from the local communities, who live amongst and work to protect the Amazon's wildlife.
