Pacaya-Samiria, the jewel of the Peruvian Amazon, covers 8,042 square miles, about 1.5 percent of Peru’s surface. This vast expanse lies between the Pacaya and Samiria rivers and is known as the "Mirrored Jungle" for the way the foliage reflects off the still black waters of its streams and tributaries.
The rainforest here ranks among the most biodiverse on the planet, with 449 species of birds, 102 mammals, 69 reptiles, 256 fish, 58 amphibians and more than 1,200 plants.
