For many travelers the Amazon Rainforest is the ultimate bucket-list destination. This destination combines adventure, gastronomy, birdwatching and more exciting activities surrounded by foliage of the jungle and many unique species of animals, especially for those taking Amazon tours from the USA, Canada and Mexico.
While Brazil is famous for its extensive territory in the Amazon Rainforest, the Peruvian Amazon also offers stunning landscapes and most accessible activities related to the “deep jungle experience” with direct connections from Lima or Cusco. In a few hours you will be able to make a transition from the modern streets of New York to the traditional historical streets of Cusco to the most biodiverse place on Earth: Amazon Rainforest.
Why is the Peruvian Amazon the best choice for North Americans?
The Peruvian Amazon amazes many travelers around the world because this destination has everything a person could want to experience at least once in a lifetime!
- Breathtaking biodiversity
- Unique gastronomy
- Living ancestral culture
- Indigenous communities with profound knowledge of non-human beings (animals, plants, mountains, rivers)
How to get there: Flight connections from North America
Travel from North America to the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest is easier than you expected. In Peru we only have one international airport who receives travelers around the world for that reason you only need to take a direct flight to Lima (Peru) at our Jorge Chavez International Airport.
- From USA: Direct flights from Miami, LA, and NYC to Lima (LIM), with a quick 90-minute hop to Puerto Maldonado (PEM) or Iquitos (IQT).
- From Canada: Airlines such as Air Canada offer seamless connections from Toronto and Montreal to Lima.
- From Mexico: Several airlines offer direct or connecting flights from Mexico City or Cancun to Lima.
We recommend booking your flights to Lima first and then purchasing your connecting flight to Puerto Maldonado or Iquitos separately. Flights in Peru are often delayed or rescheduled, and if you have a connecting flight, this could temporarily disrupt your travel experience. Additionally, booking domestic flights separately is usually cheaper.
