Peruvian Amazon in $570s-$580s RT

Let's see, things to do in Puerto Maldonado... There's a nice city square... some great restaurants... direct access to that one place with all the trees... What was it called?

Oh right, the Amazon Rainforest.

If you want to see those famous Amazon critters (including jaguars, anacondas, capybaras, poison dart frogs, and an absurd amount of parrots), there's no better gateway than right here. Puerto Maldonado is like the jungle's secret back entrance, with none of the crowds you'll find near Iquitos or Manaus. As an added bonus, Manu National Park and Tambopata National Reserve are some of the most biodiverse parts of the whole Amazon, so your camera roll will be filled up in no time.

The only downside? All these fares have two layovers. But that's a small price to pay for seeing a jaguar up close.
