Chachapoyas, Peru Kuélap Citadel AMAZONAS
Madre de Dios is an exotic, still largely undiscovered, and biodiverse region that inspired the legends of El Dorado and Paititi. Historically, it was part of the Antisuyo during the Inca Empire. Its geography is dominated by a significant river network, with the Madre de Dios River (the ancient Amaru Mayo) as its main artery, which was key during the rubber boom (the region’s economic peak).
 
The region is home to an impressive biodiversity, favored by the multiple microclimates that form at its different altitudes. This natural wealth is largely concentrated in the Manu National Park. The park’s international relevance is high, as it was recognized by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve in 1977 and as a Natural World Heritage Site in 1987.
 
A singular natural phenomenon in the area is its famous sunsets and the “Rayo Blanco” (White Ray), a unique optical arc formed by the reflection of the snow-capped mountains of Cusco on the rivers. Virgin nature, adventure, and wildlife. Explore our ecotourism and adventure tours today!
