The Amazon rainforest constitutes over half of the
planet’s remaining rainforest. The Amazon river is the life force of the
forest, rising in the Peruvian Andes and winding its way east over the
northern half of South America until reaching the Atlantic Ocean. The
Amazon carries the highest volume of water into the ocean than the top
ten largest rivers flowing into the ocean combined. Recent studies
claims that the Amazon is actually longer than the Nile using Mount
Mismi in Arequipa, which was labeled by the National Geographic Society
as the Amazon´s source, these scientist have made new calculations of
the Amazon length and estimates that is 65 miles longer than the Nile.
Experience an ideal combination: natural wonders and native cultural
history. Our pioneering approach to local communities has taken us to
interact with the villagers who live within the Pacaya-Samiria National
Reserve, helping them to develop and promote a balance between their
needs and those of the wildlife with which they share habitat and
ecosystems.
The Amazon Basin includes a diversity of traditional inhabitants as well
as biodiversity in both flora and fauna. These people have lived in the
rain forest for thousands of years and their life styles and cultures
are well adapted to this environment.
Contrary to popular belief, their subsistence living methods do not
significantly harm the environment. Their work day is mostly occupied by
subsistence activities like fishing, small-scale agriculture, gathering
and hunting. Their survival depends on their intimate relationship with
the natural environment.
