Represents over 70% of Peruvian territory and in its entirety including the Amazon basin. The proximity to the Andes and the low human presence makes her the most biodiverse forests on the planet.
The jungle department of Madre de Dios on the border of Brazil and Bolivia, is considered the World capital of biodiversity, its pristine state and the measures taken to ensure good storage experience for visitors. This region is still home to nomadic native groups who have no contact with our world, contact with the "civilized" could mean their demise because they do not have our defenses against disease, and a simple flu can kill whole extended family.
The physiography has two distinct areas: the lowland Amazon or plain, and the high forest reaches up into the highlands.
The forest floor has as main characteristic the presence of major rivers, abundant forests and large trees that can exceed 40 meters in height, while the high forest is crossed by rivers of clear water and torrential, valleys and deep gorges profuse vegetation ranging from cloud forest at the highest (3000m) to the high forests of the plains (280 m.), the high forest is more rain than the lowlands.
Wildlife is abundant, the presence of different species is dispersed according to different habitats and different ecological, A number of species are widely distributed regardless of the altitude ranges. For example the Andean Puma can reach Brazil. Studies show that the range of diversity concentration is between 500 and 1500 m

The Amazon forest is developed around the Amazon River and its watershed. High temperatures favor the development of dense vegetation and lush evergreen. The title of the lungs of the planet that holds the Amazon is not metaphorical as it maintains a balance climate: the input and output of CO2 and O2 are balanced. Environmental scientists agree that the loss of biodiversity is a result of forest destruction, and that is evidenced by the appearance in the area of Caquetá to a previous system of wild forest in which soils were used permanently "lands pretas "thanks to its progressive payment and thus prevented so migration.
Wildlife and Plants

_ All the fauna of the South American rainforest is present in the Amazon Jungle. There are countless species of plants still unclassified, thousands of species of birds, amphibians and countless millions of insects. From insects to large mammals such as jaguars, pumas, tapirs and deer. Reptiles such as turtles, caimans, alligators and snakes, including the famous anaconda, also live there. There are birds (among which include the macaw, the toucan, harpy eagle, etc..) And fish of all species, feathers and scales, also lives in its waters rose or pink dolphin. In the lagoons along the Amazon River Victoria amazonica flower plant, whose leaves circular reach over a meter in diameter. So broad its contribution to fish and aquatic plants that occupies plenty of room to list them. For aquarium enthusiasts, this is the source that provides the greatest number of fish species that now populate the shops and aquariums around the world. 20% of the world's species of birds and plants found in the Amazon forest disappear each year more than 2000 species. The Peruvian Amazon is one of the most biologically rich regions in the world.
