The Amazon jungle in Peru is well worth extending your trip to Peru to see. Just a flight away from Cusco and you can be in the middle of the jungle. A stay at a jungle lodge will be in complete contrast to the rest of Peru's highlights and yet if you can afford an extra few days on holiday, then DO IT!!!

This itinerary is a classic Peru itinerary but with a jungle element at the end at the Tambopata Research Centre.
