Alto Purús National Park

Alto Purús National Park is a sprawling protected area in the Amazon rainforest of southeastern Peru, established in 2004. Covering approximately 2.5 million hectares, it spans across the provinces of Purús in Ucayali Region and Tahuamanu and Tambopata in Madre de Dios Region. The park represents one of Peru's largest national parks and encompasses a critical portion of the Amazon basin, protecting vast tracts of tropical forest that harbor extraordinary biodiversity. Its remote location and difficult access have helped preserve both the ecological integrity of the landscape and the traditional territories of indigenous peoples, including communities that have chosen to remain isolated from the modern world. The park's establishment marked an important step in Peru's efforts to conserve its Amazonian heritage and protect the watersheds, carbon stores, and biological wealth that the region represents.
