Hidden deep within the Peruvian Amazon, rising over 2,400 meters as an isolated “sky island”, the 𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒂 𝑺𝒊𝒓𝒂 stands as one of the most biologically unique and least explored regions on Earth. This is not a typical tour.

Our objective is to search for one of the most elusive frogs in the hobby — the Holy Grail of Ranitomeya, 𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒚𝒂 𝒔𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍

From 𝑨𝒖𝒈𝒖𝒔𝒕 7–17, we will venture into this remote mountain range, exploring pristine rainforest where multiple morphs of Ranitomeya thrive. Along the way, we expect to encounter other +8 poison frogs, and a remarkable diversity of endemic flora.

This type of photography really isn’t my style, but I figured I would give it a try. Not too bad I think. Ranitomeya summersi ‘white banded’ from the foothills of the Cordillera Escalera, Tarapoto Perú.

In March/April of 2025, Andes to Amazon Expeditions guided a group of Germans through the highland and lowland jungles of the state of Amazonas to the foothills and flat Amazon jungles of Tarapoto to Yurimaguas and then to the cloud forests of the Cordillera Azul mountains near Tingo Maria. This 3 week long custom tour lead us to encounter a respectable number of poison frog species and morphs. Here, we have a collage of photos from that very trip.

This is me being authentically me. We had spend a couple hours flipping rocks in a chakra and found about a dozen giant centipedes. Once we were done searching, we took a few back to the small community and I did a small presentation to the locals trying to teach them that these animals are not dangerous and there is no reason to kill them. I couldn’t have had a happier night.

The Orchid Diversity of Northern Peru and Amaru /Danny Lawrence

Towering above the lowland jungle, the Andes mountains rise from sea level to 6,960 meters at its highest, glacier covered peak. The eastern slopes of the Peruvian Andes are a hot-spot for orchid diversity harboring many endemics, of which several are found on a single mountain or within a single valley. Peru’s list of orchid species is constantly growing as new species are regularly being discovered, making Peru one of the richest regions for orchids in the world.

Our 24 day adventure took us to the cloud forests of San Martin, Amazonas, Cajamarca, Piura, Junin, and Huancavelica where we saw Masdevallia, Telipogon, Oncidium, Odontoglossum, Phragmipedium, Miltoniopsis, Pleurothallus, Lepanthes, and much much more. We encountered many range restricted endemics, some of which very few people have ever seen before. We also had the surprise of learning that we had discovered a couple new species of Lepanthes and Telipogon. We also rediscovered a few Telipogon species that had been lost to science since many years. This was truly a remarkable orchid adventure!

One great thing about Andes to Amazon is that our itineraries are all- inclusive, which means that everything needed to accomplish the itinerary is included in the price. Transportation, lodging, up to three meals a day, national park entry permits, extra park guides, and even your national flights needed for the itinerary are included.

A giant amongst giants, the centipede Scolopendra galapagoensis is of the largest centipedes in the world reaching impressive lengths of up to 14” (35cm) with alleged and unproven reports of animals attaining a massive 16” (40cm)!!

I estimate this particular individual at around 10 or 11 inches long (25 to 28cm) so it still has some growing to do. Very impressive none the less!

Huge thanks to .wild and .wild for the photo and a massive thanks to for finding it and then bringing it to our attention!
