The woods in peru are unique in hardness and types also they are over 1400 species
in hard and softwoods but only very few reach lima at all.due to very little knowing of the type sand commercial value of others species the loggers usually extract about 32 types of woods also the transport is very difficult from the jungle to the capital due to bad roads weather etc.once they reach lima the woods get treated very badly no kiln drying shade or any type of protection from the weather so it make the choosing very difficult for the buyer to get something good.
