Iquitos 4, 5 & 6 day jungle programs
Introduction
 In
the Amazon lives the largest freshwater fish of the world called
paiche (arapaima gigas) who can grow up to 2.50 m. This is also
the only place where we can find the fresh water dolphin in the
colors gray and pink. There are about 30,000 types of plants that
grow in the Amazon shore, as well as 4,000 different species of
butterflies and 2,000 different kinds of fish (more than those found
in the Atlantic Ocean). Besides 4,000 species of birds, 150 species
of reptiles and 361 species of mammals.
