Concierge.com's insider take:
Among the best places to visit Peru's share of the Amazon is Manu, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve of nearly five million acres. Containing the greatest bird, mammal, and plant diversity of any park on the planet, Manu teems with life (giant river otters, parrots, and monkeys, for starters). The easiest way to visit the park is on a group tour. Tropical Nature Travel is one eco-conscious operator (877-827-8350; www.tropicalnaturetravel.com). Another stunning swath of Amazonian rain forest is the Tambopata National Reserve, where Rainforest Expeditions operates three of the best lodges (877-870-0578; www.perunature.com). While the outfits are admittedly spare to Spartan, they place you—and a crack team of biologist guides—in the middle of some of the most surreal wildlife displays in existence, not least the sunrise macaw-fest at the massive clay lick next to the Tambopata Research Center.
