The Peruvian rainforest covers about 60% of the total area of the country. There are several reserves, one of the most important ones being Tambopata. When time is short and Cusco is your current location, the best choice to visit the jungle is Tambopata, a free environment for wildlife. A few lodges have been built next to the Madre de Dios River to provide visitors a real jungle experience.
