Peruvian Amazon
Peru · South America
Peruvian Amazon works almost all year round, peaking in January and July–August, when it is at its strongest for nature & wildlife and hiking. Peak travel season brings drier weather and exposed beaches along river bends. Animals congregate around remaining water holes and clay licks, enhancing terrestrial wildlife sightings.
