There, we accommodate ourselves and after lunch, we return sailing the lake in a canoe to see its typical inhabitants – giant river otters, black caimans, a prehistoric bird shansho, herons, cormorants, kingfisher, etc. Then, we return to the lodge for dinner to later get back to the lake again, this time to undertake an evening caiman observation, as caimans are nocturnal animals. Our professional naturalist Tour Guide shows and explains us about these animals. We stay overnight in the lodge.

Amazon Peru

Peru is a country with a population of almost 31 million people. The Amazon accounts for 60% of
the national territory but is home to only 9.41% of the population.

It is Peru’s most ethnically and linguistically diverse t erritory.
There are five regions located in the Peruvian Amazon, (also called the Peruvian jungle):

Amazonas, Loreto, Madre de Dios, San Martin and Ucayali.
While the Peruvian Amazon is rich in natural resources, this wealth has not translated into the
we being of its inhabitants.

Activities such as the extraction of rubber, petrol and gold have exposed the Amazonian population to exploitation, migration and diseases of the western world.Accessing this area by land is difficult, if not impossible.

Providing basic health services, education, protection and water and sanitation are among some of the major challenges faced by the Peruvian State.
The exclusion of Amazonian communities is reflected in the situation of children and adolescents. For example, chronic malnutrition affects 4 out of every 100 children under five years of age in Lima (Peru’s capital) compared to 29 out of every 100 in the rural regions of the Amazon.
