UJ #18 - In love in Peru

There is no better way to understand the importance of
conservation than to spend time in the Amazon Jungle.
UNIQUE FAMILIES, UNIQUE DESTINATION
NORTHERN PLEASURES
If your idea of a family trip is to relax and enjoy refreshing
dips into the sea, Peru’s northern beaches are the place
for you. With year-round sunshine, they are a great
alternative at any time, offering endless fun for kids, and
the possibility of romantic, moonlit escapades for adults.
The beaches of Tumbes and Piura house a variety of
marine animals, and the Ñuro Beach – only 10 kilometres
from Mancora – is home to sea turtles who can be
joined for a swim around the pier, where they tend to
congregate. The real spectacle, however, occurs between
Pacific Adventures
July and October, when humpback whales appear during
their migration from Antarctica, as they search for
warmer water to breeding in. To watch these majestic
creatures breech and jump out of the sea is no doubt, an
unforgettable experience.
Come together as a family, amidst giant trees and lush
vegetation, and let expert guides lead you on a discovery
of the Amazon’s flora and fauna. Lodges offer a variety
of daytime activities for their guests, and the chance to
enjoy unparalleled stargazing from the comfort of your
room. Immersed in the dense forest, far from cities, and
without electricity, the night sky is guaranteed to shine
brighter than ever.

Amazonia is synonymous with water, thus there are
plenty of ways to enjoy the surrounding rivers, lagoons,
and tributaries. Hop into a kayak, onto a stand up
paddleboard, or aboard a peque-peque – the name for
the local motorized canoes, and explore the jungle in a
different way.

Whale season is
the best time to
visit the north.
THE MYSTICAL AMAZON
The Amazon Jungle is a paradise for nature lovers, adventure
enthusiasts, and plant and animal fans of all ages.
To visit the Amazon is special and exciting. Not only will
families have the chance to see amazing and magical
species – like the pink dolphin – up close, but also, being in
the “lungs of the world” presents the perfect opportunity
to delve into the importance of the conservation of both
the environment and the human species.
