Upper Amazon River, Peru, South America
UPPER AMAZON RIVER, PERU
The Amazon River Basin is the largest hotspot of biodiversity on the planet – home to upwards of 10% of all the species known to science.
The Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve is the largest protected area in Peru. Located upstream of Iquitos between the Marañon and Ucalayi Rivers, for most of the year there is little or no dry land within the reserve.
Where these rivers meet, they become the Amazon, flowing another 2,300 miles downstream to the Atlantic Ocean.
