Airo Pai Communal Reserve

Airo Pai Communal Reserve is a large protected area in the Loreto Region containing multiple types of Amazon rainforest. The reserve spans two provinces and shelters diverse forest habitats with rich plant and animal life.

The reserve was established in 2012 to protect the region's biodiversity and natural resources. This creation was part of Peru's broader effort to formally safeguard its most important forest areas.

Indigenous groups who have lived in this region for generations maintain their traditional ways within the reserve boundaries. Visitors can observe how these communities coexist with the forest and manage its resources sustainably.

Visitors need official permits and should prepare for variable Amazon weather with appropriate gear and clothing. Plan your visit during drier months when trails and waterways are more accessible.

The reserve functions as a corridor connecting several protected areas, allowing large animal populations to move freely between them. This connection is vital for the long-term survival of many species across the region.
