The Peruvian Amazon rainforest, comprising 60% of the country, is one of the most biologically diverse areas on the planet. Peru has the largest number of bird species and the third largest number of mammal species in the world. One in ten species in the world inhabit the Amazon rainforest. There are 32 species of primates in Peru, most of which live in the rainforest. The diversity of plant species is the highest on Earth and it is estimated one square kilometer may be home to 750 types of trees.

GreenTracks has been working in the Peruvian Amazon for nearly twenty years and has an intimate knowledge of the rivers and flora and fauna as well as the people and cultures. Through their years of experience they have put together a diverse set of programs that allow their travelers to choose a visit that will suit their interests. From upscale riverboat trips to more adventurous riverboat expeditions, from lodges with air conditioning to more rustic lodges and camping expeditions GreenTracks has it all.
