Pacaya-Samiria Reserve
This trip was accepted by Peru´s tourism promotion agency, PromPeru, to be included in their AL TUR 2000 catalog of innovative tours that combine local participation and respect for environment.

Pacaya Samiria Nature ReserveOne of the best adventures that Peru offers is a visit to the Amazon rainforest jungle and in the Peruvian amazon one of the areas with the greatest diversification of animals is the Pacaya-Samiria Nature Reserve. During the dry season the area is full of wildlife and it is possible to see tapir, jaguar and a great variety of monkeys and an uncountable variety of birds. During the wet season the area is flooded forest and mammals are limited to those that live in the water, or in trees such as birds, monkeys and sloths. Our trip begins in Tarapoto from where we travel by land and riverboat to the village of Lagunas on the southern edge of the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve. From Lagunas we enter a small tributary of the Samiria river to begin our expedition into the reserve traveling by dugout canoe and camping at night on the beaches in dry periods and during the flooded periods sleeping on temporary platforms. The normal length of this trip is 9 days and the time spent in Reserve is 6 days and 5 nights. The last day in Lagunas after leaving the Pacaya-Samiria reserve you can have the option to travel down the Huallaga River to the Aipana River where pink freshwater river dolphins are frequently seen.

This is an unforgettable trip into virgin rainforest, little exertion is required but due to the isolation of area and extended periods traveling in dugout canoe we recommend limiting this trip to children over 12 years.
