V!VA User‘s Description

Machu Picchu and Incan ruins may claim most of Peru's popularity, but the Amazon Basin claims most of Peru's land space. Much of the Peruvian Amazon Basin is untouched, but tourism is beginning to carve out a spot for itself here. Take a dugout canoe with an outboard motor through the winding tributaries to the Napo and Amazon Rivers, and view toucans and squirrel monkeys directly overhead and, if you're lucky, pink river dolphins, caiman, giant otters and much, much more.
