The reserve is home to, and protects, nearly all the species native to low lying jungle that are threatened with extinction. The large number of lakes, creeks, and swamps, the large stands of unique untouched forest, and the rich wildlife make the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve reserve an attractive destination for sport fishing, bird watching, eco-tours, scientific expeditions, and adventure travelers.


FLOATING MARKET OF BELÉN:

Just a few blocks from the Plaza de Armas down on the river front is Belen, Iquitos' floating neighborhood and market. Almost as interesting as the jungle itself, Belen is the center of an incredible variety of Amazon products; tropical fruits, fish of all shapes and sizes, turtles, birds, frogs and herbal medicines. Tourists will have the opportunity to take one of the small canoe-taxis for a tour of the waterways, some being paddled by small children eager to practice their English.

CANOPY WALK:

The Canopy Walkway is an experience unequaled in the rainforest! At a height of over 35 meters (115 feet) and extending for 500 meters (one-third of a mile), the Canopy Walkway provides a view of the rainforest from the treetops, the best vantage point for observing Amazon wildlife and vegetation. The Canopy Walkway is accessible to all and requires no special skills or equipment. The suspended walkway is spread between 14 of the area's largest rainforest trees and is one of the longest canopy walkways in the world. Maintained by the Peruvian Foundation CONAPAC, the Canopy Walkway has extended research into an area where little is known and so much is left to be discovered
