Sleep in the rainforest

The words ‘South America’ just need to tumble out of your mouth before people start questioning you about experiences in the continent. Irrespective of personal preferences, the Amazonian rainforest always comes at the top of this list. While the majority of the Amazon Rainforest is in Brazil, it also spills over in countries such as Peru and Colombia. You will have to take a short flight from one of Peru’s main cities - Lima or Cusco - to get to the rainforest. The vision of labyrinthine rivers, including the incredible Amazon River, cutting through the rainforest is best observed from the plane. So make sure you opt for a window seat on that journey.
Iquitos and Puerto Maldonado are the only two points of entry into the Amazon rainforest in Peru. Irrespective of the entry-point you choose, you should prepare to be lured by a luscious land where nature reigns. A visit to the Peruvian rainforest feels like crossing over to the wild side because animals, birds, and plants rule here. As humans, we are privy to their secrets but we have no choice but to follow the rhythm of their routines. This is why sleeping in the rainforest is a memorable experience—you will have to stay up late at night to go star gazing, wake up in the middle of the night to sail to clay-licks where macaws congregate by dozens, and go for walks in the sweltering heat to see hundreds of thousands of butterflies. We promise that you will love every second of this journey into the wild.
