It is by now common knowledge that Peru is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of tourist attractions, not only because of the priceless archaelogical sites that abound in the country, but also because of its position in the Amazon River basin.

This area, known as "Amazonia", is considered to be the lung of our planet, and the Peruvian part is considered to be one of the areas of the Amazonian jungle that has been better preserved in its "virginal" state.

This unspoilt condition and its location in the tropics, makes the Peruvian Amazonia extraordinarily biodiverse, holding as it does more than 70% of the living species of the planet. This unbelievable number of species of flora and fauna, many of which are not found anywhere else, live together in totally unique diversity in the Peruvian Amazonia.
The magnitude of the natural treasures of Peru, which are also an important natural resource for mankind, is only grasped by scientists and, in a lesser degree, by those of us who are curious about our environment.

For this reason we've put together the contents of this web site about the Natural World of Peru, which we are delighted to offer to our guests. Not only have we put information about Nature in Peru at your disposal, but also supporting illustrations, and all the data referring to specialized tourism, such as Photo Safaris, Birdwatching, Orchids, General Botany, Insects, Anthropology, Waterfalls, Invertebrates etc.
