PACAYA SAMIRIA NATURAL RESERVE 
This is the largest protected natural area in Peru (2’800,000 ha), located at 300km / 190 miles from Iquitos. Accessible only by waterways. The wealth of the low lying virgin rain forest gives this area an enormous bio-diversity similar to the one of the Manu National Park, where also live several species not present in this area. The National Reserve has many lakes and lagoons and vast swamp areas.
Practically unexplored and uninhabited except for protected species in the interior, it offers an astonishing potential for research studies and observation of wild life, particularly of certain species in danger of extinction in other areas.
This area has more than 85 lakes and exuberant vegetation with a great variety of flora species such as the Lupuna tree, measuring up to 160 feet tall with a diameter of feet in four forest types.
It also 130 species of mammals such as the jaguar, wild cat, river wolf and ronsoco (world’s biggest rodent), and several species of monkeys in danger of extinction, like the black maquisapa, the yellow breast and the choro. There are 350 bird species like toucans and blue, yellow and red macaws. All this, plus the 150reptiles in 20 families, makes our forest one with largest number of species seen on any tourist trip in the world.
