This exceptional diversity is due to its privileged location at the meeting point of three important biomes: lowland tropical Amazon forest, the humid Pampas savannah, and extensive seasonally flooded palm swamps, not to mention the close proximity to premontane cloudforest of the Andean foothills just 100 km to the south. Indeed, at least nine major forest types can be distinguished around the Explorer’s Inn, each with own community of distinctive plants and animals.
