When it comes to visiting the Amazon, Brazil and Colombia are excellent choices, but Peruvian Amazon is a fantastic experience in itself.
Although deforestation in the region was a rising concern, a recent initiative will see nearly 41 million acres of Peruvian Amazon receive permanent protection.
What is Peruvian Amazon?
The 13% of the Amazon’s rainforests‘ square footage belongs to Peru, second only to Brazil. Peru offers a lot in terms of history and nature apart from Machu Pichu, Rainbow Mountain, or Sacred Valley.
Although the Peruvian rainforest comprises 60% of the country’s entirety, only 5% of the Peruvian population resides there. Despite the scarce population, the indigenous people and cultural aspect is another reason you should consider putting the Peruvian Amazon on your travel list.
When’s the Best Time to Visit?
The great thing about visiting the Peruvian Amazon jungle is that you can explore it throughout the year. Despite the enormity, the weather conditions hardly vary between seasons, so you can expect warm, humid, and rainy weather whenever you visit the Peruvian Amazon
The wet season is between January and June, while July to December is the dry season. However, heavy showers can occur throughout the year, but if you’re planning to explore on foot, the second half of the year is the better choice as it’s drier than the first half of the year.
How Can I Get There?
There are several ways you can explore the Peruvian Amazon. For instance, Andean Soul Adventure’s 5-day Amazon Jungle Tour begins from Puerto Maldonado, a Southeastern Peru city. During this tour, you can explore the magical conjugation of vibrant forests, swamps, and rivers.
What Will I Get to See?
