Las Piedras District is one of four districts of the province Tambopata in Peru. Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática. Banco de Información Distrital . Retrieved April 11, 2008.
Bordered by the Rio Mavila on the northern boundary and the Rio Las Piedras to the south, the district comprises typical uninhabited lowland neotropical rainforest; largely moist broadleaf evergreen or semi-evergreen with overstorey canopy and emergent crowns; medium layer canopy; lower canopy; and shrub level and understory.
The forest-structure is influenced by the flood regimes of the Las Piedras River, a highly meandering, white-water affluent of the Madre de Dios River.
