Pacaya-Samiria Natural Reserve

PACAYA SAMIRIA National Reserve was created by the Peruvian government in February 1982, with a surface area of 2`080,000 hectares. It represents approximately 6% of the territory of the LORETO Region and 1.5% of Peru`s total national surface, forming the most extensive protected floodplain forest area in the Amazon.

There are several native communities living on the Reserve. Here there is the opportunity to be lodged in a Tambo, or native house, with certain basic services, that you can use as a base for any activity you choose within the enormous range of activities offered by this ""jewel of nature"", such as:

- Bird watching.

- Dolphin sighting.

- Fishing in the rivers and ponds in the area.

- Jungle walks.

- Studying the community and living inside it.

- Mammal sighting.

- Photography.

- Crocodile sighting

A unique experience on earth.
