Experiencing the Southern Amazon with Enigma Peru

Pause and listen. Breathe deeply; smell. Feel the humidity on the skin. Crouch down and discover a universe of life just below the feet. They are in one of the most bio-diverse areas on the planet, deep within the pristine Amazon rainforest, the lungs of Mother Earth, and home to unfathomable forms and systems of life.

SOUTHERN AMAZON

Puerto Maldonado, Tambopata & Madre de Dios

The Southern Amazon region of Puerto Maldonado, with the Tambopata and Madre de Dios Rivers and adjacent National Reserves, remains one of the wildest areas of the world, yet with some surprising infrastructure for ecotourism, which allows travelers to have one of the most direct and personal experiences with the rich surrounding nature. The Southern Amazon area in Peru offers comfort but above all, a genuine close contact with the rainforest, the freedom to explore and slow down, taking time to appreciate the beauty of life firsthand. From consciously connecting with an indigenous community and their living ancestral traditions to indulging in yoga and gourmet nutrition at one of the region’s wellness centers, the Southern Amazon invites visitors to connect to something profound and powerful, as the external setting—the vastness and sheer power of the jungle—moves them to the core.

From their lodge home among biologists and researchers, guests can dine on fresh and exotic fruits and feel life at its fullest, creeping in around them and their definition of reality. They can take day and night walks as well as boat rides to witness nature up close and personal, spotting daring monkeys, gorgeous macaws feeding on clay licks in one of nature’s most celebrated spectacles, stealth caimans, and if they are fortunate and blessed by the spirits of the forest, the elusive and graceful jaguar. At night, in the comfort of their mosquito netting tucked tightly around their mattress, they can enjoy the symphony of the jungle after dark—there is nothing like it. They dare to let their imagination carry them away as they wonder what creature is making each unique noise, from the subtle to the wild.

The magic of the Amazon isn’t just in the bigger animals and the immense trees; there is so much richness of life in each square meter—the termites and spiders and butterflies—all part of a mind-blowing ecosystem. A far leap from the modern world, visitors can delight in the deep sense of peace and perspective offered by the lodges of this region, where they get to be slow and still while everything around them is moving and breathing, in a stunning symbiosis that reminds them of the power and magic of nature.
