The Amazon covers more than half of Peru. Its main gateways are Iquitos, Puerto Maldonado, Tarapoto and Pucallpa, and each one has tours to reserves, rivers and native communities. Traveling the Peruvian Amazon with a local guide is the best way to see wildlife and understand the jungle.
On Chaski Peru Guides every guide holds an official tour guide license, and we check their background before approving them. Book a Peruvian Amazon private tour published by a guide, or post what you are looking for and compare offers from several guides.
