This incomparable natural wealth has triggered, specially in recent years, an important ecotourism industry (which, if managed responsibly, could help protect the rainforest and its incredible flora and fauna). Many tour operators offer organized tours to different destinations across the country, such as the Manu National Park, the Tambopata National Reserve, and the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve.
The Tambopata National Reserve, also in Madre de Dios, is a more accessible alternative to the Manú. It is located a merely 2-hour by motorboat from Puerto Maldonado, the department's capital city. It covers an area of 275,000 hectares and is home to an incredible biodiversity, including 632 bird species, 169 mammal species, and 1200 butterfly species. Tambopata holds the world record for the most species registered in any one day in one specific area: more than 650! .
The largest protected area in Peru -and in the whole South America-- is the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve. Bordered by the Maranon and the Ucayali rivers, it covers more than 2 million hectares, and is located some 180 km southwest of Iquitos, the largest city in the Peruvian rainforest, on the banks of the mighty Amazon river. The reserve shelters many animal and plant species, including pink dolphins, manatees, charapa turtles, black spider monkeys, and paiches (a 300kg freshwater fish).
