PACAYA SAMIRIA ADVENTURE PROGRAM (5 Days / 4 Nights)

The “Jungle of Mirrors”

Established in 1982, Pacaya Samiria National Reserve is a vast natural sanctuary at the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. Located between the Marañon and Ucayali rivers—two major tributaries of the Amazon—it spans over 2,080,000 hectares and protects approximately 1.5% of Peru’s total land area. The reserve stretches all the way to the confluence of these rivers near Nauta, 183 km southwest of Iquitos.
