FLORA AND FAUNA TAMBOPATA TOURS

The flora and fauna in Tambopata Tours, have also been 1255 types of plants identified, among which the Brazil nut stands out. It is found over an area of approximately 2.5 million hectares (occupying other reserves also). Other tree species are the cedar, mahogany, moriche palms and rubber, among others.

Its remarkable fauna includes more than 103 species of amphibians, 180 fish, 103 reptiles and 169 mammals. The puma, ocelot, margay (Leopardus wiedi) and jaguai to date still live free of threats though they are now more frequently hunted furtively with the advancement oJ the illegal cutting of trees or the illegal mining in the neighbouring zones on the reserve.

Among the primates, the spider monkey, brown- mantled tamarin and the orange tamarin, the emperoi tamarin (Saguinus imperator), the howler monkey, the Peruvian night monkey (Aotus nigriceps), common woolly monkey, black-capped squirrel monkey (Saimiri boliviensis), South American squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus), white-fronted capuchin (Cebus albifrons) and the tufted capuchin.

The most common mammals are the collared peccary, tapir, white lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) red brocket deer and the two-toed and three-toed sloth.

In ancient Peru, these birds were prized as much for their coloured feathers used to fashion fine garments for their leaders, as for their role in fertility ceremonies. Evidence of this has been found in tombs on the Peruvian coast that date back to the beginning of Christianity
