Amazon Rainforest

Amazon Rainforest Trips

The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most untouched areas in all of Peru and home to some of the greatest biodiversity on the planet. On a holiday to the Amazon Rainforest you'll trek through damp, dense undergrowth with buzzing insects and hooting animal sounds surrounding you. Heady smells, exotic flora, multicoloured parrots, leaping monkeys and ancient trees hanging above.

The jungle is an overwhelming assault on the senses. But, exploited for lumber, rubber, cattle ranching, cocoa plantations and exotic animal products, over half of the world’s rainforests have been lost forever, although conservationists are battling hard to save the rest. Wildlife holidays to the Amazon Rainforest are important: by bringing tourists to the jungle, they help pump money into the local economy and fund Peru’s national parks. Responsible tourism can help provide the financial incentive to keep the rainforest intact where it might otherwise be exploited. By booking Amazon Rainforest tours with a responsible tourism operator like Exodus, you can explore the Amazon knowing you’re doing your bit to protect this precious corner of the planet.
