Preparing for a trip to the Amazon always means asking yourself if you are really being sensible, given how persistent the myth of Fitzcarraldo and the reputation of the Jivaroan peoples are. There are two entry points to the Peruvian Amazon. Departure from Lima, Iquitos, which is connected to the rest of the world only by the river. You can explore Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve on a land expedition or by river aboard a cruise boat. Departure from Cusco, Puerto Maldonado, on the Rio Madre de Dios. A vast ecosystem composed of freshwater and vegetation, the Amazon is the planet’s great ecological reserve. Accommodation in tents or lodges, boat trips on the rios, and hikes through primal forest to observe extraordinary flora and fauna.
