Voted No.1 in 2024 and No.2 in 2025 by Travel+Leisure Boasting the title of the fifth most biodiverse country in the world, Peru houses one of the largest swathes of the mighty Amazon, second only to Brazil. Covering a whopping 60% of the country, yet home to only 10% of the population (and more flora and fauna per hectare than any single European nation), it's incredibly remote, seductive, and indescribably pristine. The sounds, the smells and the colours are magical and sweltering and a visit is one that will stay with you forever - and drain your camera batteries daily! Activities wise, cruise the meandering waterways, binos in hand, and spot playful giant otters, caiman and elusive pink dolphins, or don a set of rubber boots on and enjoy a dalliance into the heart of the forest in search of snoozing sloths, giant anacondas, alien-like insects and armadillos, while swinging monkeys cavort in the canopy above. Really, you’ll never want to leave...

Spanning over 274,000 hectares of protected Amazon rainforest in southeastern Peru, Tambopata National Reserve is a sanctuary of crisp, clean wilderness. The biodiversity is, quite simply, off the charts and sightings include caiman lurking in the water, families of giant river otters, three-toed sloths, swinging howler monkeys, hundreds upon hundreds of bird species and even more butterflies... So, how to spot them, we hear you ask? From Puerto Maldonado, cruise the Tambopata River and venture as deep into the forest as you like: from day and night excursions in search of curious critters, to explorations of the forest heights on canopy bridges and dugout canoe rides along oxbow lakes and hidden waterways, there's plenty to do. And we haven't even mention the elusive jaguar - venture deep enough and you might just be lucky enough to spot one. Cameras at the ready!
