Regions of the Amazon Rainforest:

Lowland Jungle: Peru's largest zone, with 260-1300 ft (80 to 400 m). Climate: warm (82°F/28°C average), humid, and rainy all year. The Amazon River flows across Peru's lowland jungles of Putumayo, Ucayali, Maraón, and Pastaza.

Highland Jungle: Peru's high forest is found in the Andes' eastern foothills, at altitudes ranging from 1,300 to 3,280 ft (400 to 1000 m). The climate in the highland jungle is cooler than in the lowland jungle. The area is more secluded from the rest of the Amazon and other places, attracting rare animal species.
