Discover the Rainforest's Healing Energy at Reserva Amazonica
Deep in the Peruvian Amazon
Quote of the Week
The rainforests hold answers to questions we have yet to ask.

Dear Postcard Travellers,
Did you know that 25 percent of all modern Western drugs are derived from rainforest plants? Not only are they places of exceptional beauty, they also help heal us, and you can immerse yourself in this healing energy at Reserva Amazonica.
Walk through the rainforest canopy, take an Amazonian cooking class, glide along the snaking waterways and learn about the Ese'eja Native Community.
After all your jungle adventures, a little relaxation is in order. Perhaps you’d like to indulge at ENA spa or enjoy the healing ritual of a flower bath? Or you can end your day with a jungle sundowner, imbibing refreshing chilcanos made with pisco, Peru’s national spirit.
You might be deep in the Amazon, but you can still enjoy life’s little luxuries.
Happy travels!
