Jungle Permits
To enter certain areas, such as the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, or the Manu and Tambopata-Candamo Reserved Zones, you'll need to obtain permission first. This is often done for you if you're on an organized tour; otherwise, contact the Instituto Nacional de Recursos Naturales ( INRENA ), Calle Diesisiete 355, Urbino El Palomar, Lima 27 (tel 01/224-3298; Mon-Fri 9am-5pm) or Pevas 350-363, Iquitos (tel 094/231330, fax 234861, rnps-zrg@aeci.org.pe). It's not usually difficult to get a permit unless there's a good reason, such as specially restricted areas (eg in Manu Biosphere Reserve) or suspected hostility from indigenous locals (in 1980, for example, a German-led wildlife expedition was attacked by Indians - the first thing they knew about it was a sheet of arrows flying towards their canoe).
