Nature in Peru - South America

NATURE IN PERU

RAINFOREST


After a never ending cry from a black water-vomiting sky, the first rays of sun appear, allowing the observer to quietly smile at the long, serpentine, running streams that hide themselves in the lusty vegetation of the Amazon jungle, inhabited by unruly and noisy wild animals, that won't like to be compared to their human counterparts.

This natural space is full of colour and fascination. It's a place which can be explored endlessly. A jewel bathed in bucketing rains.To admire, to get to know, to search for the surprising fauna that slip away amongst the fertile vegetation, where precious flowers such as the orchids parade.

Strange animals can be seen here, such as the capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) -the biggest rodent in the world, the giant river otter(Pteronura brasiliensis),the river otter (Lutra longicaudis), the jaguar (Panthera onca), the black cayman (Melanosuchus Nger), the south american river turtle (Podocnemis expansa), the toucan (Ramphastidae), and the tapir (Tapirus terrestris).

The three toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus) can also be counted, as can the spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus), the spider monkey (Ateles paniscus), yacar (Caiman yacare), puma (Puma concolor), manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus), swamp crocodile (Crocodylus moreletti), and yellow headed parrot (Amazona oratrix), in our brief list.

This colourful region is home and haven to many surprising species of flora and fauna, which travellers can discover while exploring the reserves, parks and natural zones of this little known part of America.

The "pequepeques" (motorized canoes) zip across the bravest and longest river in the world, the Amazon. The native people who live on its banks hold treasures of legends and myths, some of which, according to some reviewers, "have never been told before". Wild symphony of day and night; nature, mystery and magic of an unknown jungle with an uncertain fate.
