Lima,

Puerto Maldonado, at short distance from Cusco in the beginning of the eastern slopes of the Andean mountain range, where the Tropical Amazonian Jungle begins, in a region bursting with biological life, this explosion of animal and vegetable life is caused by the proximity of the Andes range, which, on one hand, offers a certain protection owing to the relative inaccessibility caused by the wall of mountains and, on the other, by the large quantity of nutrien0ts that is carried by the rivers, gathered from the highest parts, and which supply the enormous food chain that begins in the Amazonian basin almost a thousand metres below. This tropical region adjacent to the Andes is the region of the world in which can be found the greatest number of animal and vegetable species, where the concentration by square kilometre reaches unique levels. This is an exuberant and vigorous land that has not yet been punished by the destructive claws of civilization. The jungle is ferocious and intricate, hot and oppressive, but rich in life. In this area of the Amazon - mythologized by the Spanish conquerors as El Dorado - the greatest variety of animal and plant species on the planet coexist in perfect harmony. There are three conservation areas in Madre de Dios of great importance: the Manu Biosphere Reserve, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987, the Tambopata - Candamo Reserve, with intact populations of several endangered species, such as the giant otter and the shrew eagle, and the Bahuaja-Sonene National Park, home to 450 different species of birds. Madre de Dios can only be described as a miracle of nature: A world of gigantic trees, powerful rivers and thick fog, in which man is an outsider, a strange being disturbed by the whispers of the inhabitants of the jungle as he walks its tortuous trails. Here silence never reigns. Here anything could happen.
