Between the Marañón and Ucayali rivers, in the department of Loreto, is the most extensive National Reserve in Peru. More than 2 million hectares of the most authentic Amazonian forest.
Among the thick vegetation of the reserve, the most surprising explosion of life takes place: a diverse ecosystem formed by thousands of animal and plant species. Species that, in many cases, can only be observed in the Peruvian jungle.
It is the same natural barrier that, even today, allows communities that live according to ancestral customs and beliefs, to be discovered among the paths of the jungle— Millenary cultures that keep their connection with nature and spirituality alive.
