This is the least populated territory in Peru, with only 600,000 people living in its 30,880 sq miles of jungle area. Gold panning on the Tambopata and Madre de Dios rivers, and the latex boom determined the foundation of the capital city of Puerto Maldonado, and today, the Madre de Dios River (the old Inca Antisuyo) is still what it has been for centuries, a virgin and frontier land full of mysteries. The Manu, Tambopata-Candamo and Pampas de Heath reserves cover 3,500,000 jungle hectares, 98% of which is virgin forest, making it one of the largest and richest biodiverse areas of the world, home to unique flora and fauna species. This includes 2,500 flower varieties, more than 1,000 birds, 900 butterfly species and more than 20 kinds of monkeys.
