Imagine turning to each new month on your calendar to be greeted by a picture of exotic birds or striking cats, knowing you saw these things first hand.

That could be easily achievable for people embarking on holidays in the Amazon which are being advertised at the moment.

Intrepid travellers who are looking for something a little different than relaxing on the beach can come face to face with panthers, pumas, parrots and peccaries during their trip, which will undoubtedly open your eyes to a different side of nature.

Biosphere Expeditions is offering the chance for people to head top Peru to join a small international team and local biologists working on a highly important wildlife survey.

During your trip you will encounter everything from Macaws and deer to high-end predators. You will see sights that you may never again see in your lifetime, so making a calendar out of the snaps may be the only way to remind yourself that your adventure wasn't a dream and that you were there right alongside the beautiful creatures.
