Peru Rainforests
The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most spectacular places on the planet. Large, slow rivers wind between tall trees. Tropical birds fly through the air, and all kinds of critters run across the forest floor. No trip would be complete without a Peruvian Amazon adventure.
The two main Amazon rainforest hubs in Peru are Iquitos and Puerto Maldonado. Iquitos lies north of Lima, on the main Amazon River, while the Rio Madre de Dios runs through Puerto Maldonado in the southwest, less than 500 km from Cusco. From these rivers, you can reach the depths of the jungle, and come face to face with its creatures.
Book yourself into an ecolodge in one of Peru's Amazon nature reserves — Pacaya Samiria and Tambopata are two of the best — and experience a different world.

Our Multigenerational Journey
My sister and her family want to come next year, and possible another friend's family as well, so will definitely tell them to use Anywhere!!!
Peru
We Conquered Huayna Picchu
This was a very personal experience and Anywhere.com does an amazing job of having agents who are cultured and/or very familiar with the country to which you wish to visit. This allows the agent to listen to what you want to experience and then match you up with the right outfitter, vendor, excursion group, etc...I felt like Sara Nizama truly listened to my wants/needs and made them a reality. I am so happy with my Peru experience, thanks to Sara and her team. I want to go back soon and explore more of Peru with the help of Sara and her team. Thank you!
Peru
