Pacaya Samiria Tour 7D/6N
Visiting and exploring the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve in the Peruvian Amazon is a great experience that allows you to be in direct contact with nature. Pacaya Samiria is not only a natural space with great importance for wildlife, but it is also a place that promotes research and conservation of the biodiversity of the Peruvian Amazon forests. In it, there is a wide network of river courses that are home to a wide variety of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The surface of this reserve constitutes 1.5% of the territory of Peru and it is the second largest Amazon area under protection in the world. Its land is flooded during the rainy months (October and April), when the rivers overflow and cause about 80% of this territory to be covered by water. The Pacaya Samiria tour will show you the best of the Peruvian Amazon, a tour that gives you great chances to see animals in their natural and undisturbed habitat. The 7-day tour in Pacaya Samiria allows you to see unusual animals such as the largest Amazonian fish: The Paiche. Some specimens measure up to two meters long and weigh about 150 kg. The Paiche is the monarch of the Amazonian rivers. The Charapa turtle is another of the endemic species. It lives in rivers and lakes, and is one of the largest water turtles in the world. The Charapa tortoise can measure up to one meter and weigh up to 50 kg. In the reserve it is also possible to observe the anaconda, one of the largest constrictor snakes in the Amazon. Its impressive anatomy of ten meters long and about 250 kg in weight make its appearance truly intimidating. However, contrary to popular belief, these types of snakes are not poisonous, although they should be appreciated from a distance. You will also have the opportunity to observe the endemic and beautiful Amazon pink dolphin.
