Ecotourists,
birdwatchers, orchid fanciers, nature lovers can all fulfill their
wildest dreams in the world's last great frontier. We can arrange
extensions before or after your selected "The
Best of Peru" combinations to visit the areas described
below. The Amazon Basin runs down the eastern flank of Peru, providing
travelers different environments in which to cruise on the rivers,
stay in jungle lodges and explore the rain forest. From Iquitos,
one reaches the mighty Amazon mainstream; from Cusco visitors may
fly or go overland to the Tambopata and Manu nature reserves.
IQUITOS
Nonstop jets hop over the Andes from Lima to Iquitos. The busy port
was built in the rubber-boom days of the Amazon and is now a base
for river-boat departures to rustic but confortable jungle camps
up and down river. Two to five-night programs are available. By
day, guests take boat trips up small tributaries, walk along rain
forest trails and visit Indian villages. By night, alligator hunting
in dugout canoes is a favorite pastime. Large vessels carry passengers
on three-night cruises
