Amazon Basin Attractions
The Amazon Basin accounts for more than half of Peru. Despite this, the Amazon is home to only 5% of the Peruvian population. This jungle covered area is remote with limited access but offers incredible experiences you won't find in other parts of the country. Trips to the jungle provide exceptional opportunities to see wildlife, while exploring lakes and rivers. It also allows for a glimpse into a unique way of life.
