Peru, as long with other Amazon countries, is a privileged country regarding its flora and fauna diversity. But this is because the Andes is the youngest mountain range of the world, and that is why the rivers still carry rich nutrients that enables its marvelous vegetation and its consequential fauna.
There are eight important rivers that range from Colombia to Bolivia that allows this kind of diversity. But logically the quality of these soils not only attracted animals but also humans, being the Manu zone the only one that remained forgotten, letting Nature to easily advance toward the actual splendor which outstands us when we see its gigantic trees, its anachronistic tribes, its unique species and its peerless beauty.
