Peru's biggest national park (

is home to weird and wonderful creatures
rarely glimpsed elsewhere: Amazon manatees, pink river dolphins, 6m caimans and giant
river turtles. Just getting here is challenge enough - the park is up to a day's journey by
boat from the nearest towns. But unlike other Peruvian reserves, this is a walk on the
really
wild side. Transport is by dug-out canoe, there are no fancy lodges and you'll need to
spend several days roughing it to see the best stuff: welcome to pure, unadulterated nature.
