According to PromPerú, the UK is Peru’s second largest incoming tourist market in Europe. In 2006, more than 65,000 British visitors arrived to Peru (photo: PromoPerú).

New on The Peru Guide, a complete section about Peru’s Amazon Rainforest.
Though images of the Andes come readily to mind when thinking about Peru, as much as 2/3 of its territory is taken by the Amazon Rainforest. The Selva (jungle, in Spanish) covers every corner east of the Andes, from the Equator to the southern borders with Brazil and Bolivia. Scarcely populated, Peru’s Amazon rainforest probably sustains the World’s richest biodiversity. More so within its many parks and reserves –Manu, Pacaya Samiria, Tambopata–, both wildlife paradises and natural sanctuaries.
Fresh content on the main natural parks and reserves, plus Iquitos and facts regarding th Amazon river and the rainforest.
