Peru Amazon Tours

Why Visit the Amazon?

Where Machu Picchu is for the historians, the culture vultures and the hikers, Peru’s Amazon is for the wildlife lovers, photographers and explorers. It’s for travellers seeking a deeper connection to nature, who want to understand the biological workings of our Earth and feel real fulfilment from spending time outdoors, having unique wildlife experiences.

Where else can you pair with the Amazon?

One of the Amazon's greatest advantages is its accessibility from Peru's other destinations. An hour flight from Cusco or a two-hour flight from Lima, it’s remarkably easy to weave jungle adventure into a broader exploration of Peru.

Cusco, Machu Picchu & the Sacred Valley

Pair ancient ruins with prehistoric jungle for a mesmerising itinerary. Transition from high-altitude Incan heritage to lowland rainforest within a short flight, creating a dramatic contrast of landscapes. Both destinations also suit a range of travel styles, from the ultra-adventurous to the ultra-curious – and everything in between. Combining the Amazon and the Andes ensures you see as much of Peru as possible during your time here.

Lima

After an extraordinary foodie experience? From Michelin-star renditions of traditional Peruvian cuisine to rainforest – to – table locally sourced meals, Lima and the Amazon serve as an immersive adventure, where world-class culinary scenes, colonial architecture and Pacific coastline offer cosmopolitan exploration after days of wilderness immersion.

Best Time to Visit the Peruvian Amazon

The best time to visit the Amazon is during the dry season from April to October. This time offers optimal conditions as water levels recede, revealing beaches and riverbanks while making hiking trails more accessible. This is prime time for exploring the forest floor on guided treks, spotting wildlife congregating around shrinking water sources and experiencing the jungle's intricate ecosystems up close.
