The Amazon with Enigma Peru

There are few places on Earth that feel as alive as the Amazon and Enigma Peru shares the rich biodiversity of the southern reserves with tantalizing trip, where guests see a sacred ecosystem where the forest speaks in birdsong, and the river writes its own rhythm.

Pause and listen. Breathe deeply; smell. Feel the humidity on your skin. Crouch down and discover a universe of life just below your feet. You 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.

NORTHERN AMAZONIquitos & Pacaya Samiria

Cradled in lush vegetation and living humid air, with binoculars ready for the next thrill, travelers float smoothly down the great jungle rivers, the life source of the Peruvian Northern Amazon Basin and the pristine Pacaya-Samiria Reserve. Cruises offer naturalist guides, innovative Amazonian cuisine, and even luxury, as they explore the seemingly endless maze of jungle waterways, including the Amazon River as well as the Ucayali, Marañon, and Yanayacu-Pucate Rivers.

From the boat and during stops along the riverbanks, travelers can spot caimans, tropical songbirds, black collared hawks, sloths, and performance troops of monkeys. By day, they can go fishing for Amazonia’s notoriously ferocious piranhas. As the sun sets, they can set off for an evening wildlife excursion with extraordinary stargazing. Rising with the sun, early morning bird watching awaits. On daytime jungle walks, they can get up close and personal with medicinal trees, insects, and poison dart frogs, learning more about the different rainforest strata (layers). Swimming, canoeing, or kayaking in the Yanayacu-Pucate River, they look for legendary pink river dolphins.

Travelers can also visit local communities to get a taste of their way of life in the jungle. The reserve is home to an estimated 42,000 indigenous people within its distinct and dynamic ecological habitat, and park staff helps maintain a healthy natural balance, leading initiatives such as the integration of sustainable agriculture.

The gateway to the Peruvian Northern Amazon is the bustling city of Iquitos, a commercial port on the shores of the Amazon River, so immersed in the deep rainforest that it is only accessible by plane. Cruising through the Northern Amazon not only allows for insight into the vast scope of this great jungle, but it also provides an undeniable and almost too-close-for-comfort immersion into nature at its most impressive and wildest.
