Deep in the Peruvian Amazon, the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve often referred to simply as Pacaya Samiria is one of South America’s most remarkable natural treasures. Dubbed the “jungle of mirrors,” because of its perfectly calm, reflective watersm this enormous ecosystem is one of the few remaining true wilderness rainforest on Earth. Stretching over 20,000 square kilometers, it is the second largest protected natural area in Pacaya Peru and is one of the most biodiverse locations in the entire Amazon Basin.
UNESCO recognizes its ecological and cultural importance, and the reserve is home to thousands of plant, mammal, reptile, and bird species. The most incredible part is that indigenous communities have peacefully lived with the forest for generations. For those who would like to experience the real Amazonian jungle, Pacaya Samiria Reserve is a spectacular combination of wildlife, adventure, and cultural experiences.
