Our trip to Manu National Parc was an amazing experience. Everything was well organized, from the pick-up at the hotel, over transfer and back to Cusco.
We enjoyed also that it was just a small group of people.
Our guide Juan Carlos provided lots of information regarding the National Parc, flora and fauna. We saw lots of birds, insects, even monkeys and experienced the jungle within jungle walks during days and also during a night walk.
The jungle lodges were perfect to stay and good meals were provided all the time.
Thanks again to Richard and Juan Carlos who made our trip unforgettable.

We had amazing 5 days in the Amazonas Rainforest. The organisation was perfect, the days were packed with activities, the food was great and our guide Ciro and the whole team did a great job. We really ft how passionate they were for the animals and rainforest. I would definitely recommend this tour.

It's upstairs from a small shop, not a travel agency. I booked for 4 days, but the guide collected the fee without telling me that the other 6 people in the group were only for 3 days. It was not until the third night in the rainforest that I learned from other group members that everyone would leave the rainforest the next day. Only then did I realize that I was cheated! I was forced to leave with the others, and the guide did not refund the fee! There are also some places that charge fees during the itinerary, which you will not be told in advance! During the entire trip, the guide only cared about himself and never waited for those who were slower. A girl fell behind for a long time because she went to the toilet in the rainforest! The other group members were very worried about the girl, but the guide just kept moving forward! It's very dangerous! Don't expect the guide to help you during the trip! In addition to seeing ants, I didn't see anything else! This is a real experience! Everyone really shouldn't choose their company. The most important thing for a company is integrity. They can't even tell the truth! Because the driver and the chef are good, I didn't want to comment, but after thinking about it, I still hope that everyone understands the real situation!

Before I decided to book this tour I confirmed with Viator operator a few things that were very important to know before going. I was traveling with a 4 year old and a 14 year old. We booked this as a private tour since we were traveling with kids. There is no detail about what to expect during your tour so here is what we did. But let me start off by talking about our tour guide Julio who is awesome! Julio was our tour guide and he is great! He is really informative and he really knows his stuff. He goes into great detail and explanation and speaks very good english. He always had the answer to all of our questions. He really cares about the jungle and its people. Our driver was Gerber? He didn’t speak much English but he got us from point A to B.
Day1-
Pick up at our hotel in Cusco was on time at 6am. On day 1 we visited a few villages before entering the National Park, which was great. Then on to the 6-7 hour drive of unpaved, bumpy, windy, narrow roads to enter the park. We ended up in Paraiso Lodge which was nice around 5pm. There was no AC or fans, as I was told before I booked the tour that there was some, in the rooms. The lunch and dinner was great. Flora was our cook and she was so sweet.
Day2- after having a great breakfast we drove to a sanctuary not too far from the lodge and it was perfect for the kids. Freely roaming monkey’s, many diverse species of them. Other animals that we were not able to see on the trip were also there. There is a lady that runs the sanctuary and the animals just love her. We tipped her 50 soles. Then we drove to the pier where we were given rain boots to use during the rest of our stay. We took a boat ride to the “lodge” that we stayed at. It was in the middle of the jungle!! You would not be able to find it at all. When we got to the lodge it was a basic shack almost. Wooden, no toilet seat, no hot water (you don’t need it), no outlets, no A/C, no fan, basic beds with a mosquito netting. We also had 3 wasp nest on the outside of our lodge (they don’t sting unless aggravated). There is a huge gap between the roof of the lodge so plenty of critters can get in. It was bearable, but it was extremely hot and humid. You’ll find mice and toads as visitors throughout your stay. It didn’t bother the kids. After settling down we took a hike around 2pm for 3 hours to a secluded “hot springs.” We enjoyed the cold water that was running from a hose to the pool of hot water instead because after a long hike in rainboots and mud we looked forward to a cold pool. The kids had fun. We hiked back and called it a night.
Day3- Woke up early around 0500 to go bird watching. That was great. After having breakfast we went for another hike to see some more wildlife in a boat across a small river. It was extremely hot, but we made sure to wear long sleeves and pants. We skipped zip lining as I was really concerned about the safety issues with my 4 year old. After hearing stories from other people that opted to go zip lining I’m glad we said no. We stayed in and rested up. There is a beautiful waterfall and swimming area in the back of the lodges that I wish I knew sooner so we can go for a dip.
Day 4- headed back to Cusco, but we had a shared van with other people because it was better to be stuck on the road with 1 car than 2. The ride wasn’t too bad. It was another 6 hours or so before they dropped us off at the airport.
Overall, I wish I had known about the heat and humidity and having no fans in the rooms beforehand so I could have better prepared myself and the kids. It was a different kind of experience that you really have to be open minded about. You are in a jungle! We saw monkeys, cayman and plenty of birds. Julio made it so great and enjoyable for us. The food was also outstanding and so are the staff. My only complaint is the rooms that we stayed at during our 2nd and 3rd night. It was a little uncomfortable that we even asked Julio if we can stay at Paraiso Lodge during our last night, but it wasn’t possible. Other than that, it was one heck of an experience.
Thank you to the awesome staff and experience.

It was a truely amazing experience I can highly recommend! If you love nature and are flexible in terms of comfort you will be overwhelmed.
I think the tour differs a bit depending on accommodation availabilities and weather, but in general should be aroung the same:
Tour & guide: Our guide Julio (freelancer, not always him) was fantastic, we could not believe how he did it but he spotted a lot of animals where we wouldn't have seen anything. He led us through the jungle and knew a lot of facts around the animals and jungle, e.g. more than 500 birds by heart.
We saw mostly birds, but also various monkeys, a caiman, opossum, snake, toad, spiders. It would have been possible to see capybaras and tapirs but unfortunately not this time - except for the sanctuary we went, at least here it's save to see those animals, otherwise of course it's wildlife so you have to be a bit lucky.
We also swam in the river, went on nightwalks, had some time to relax in the hammocks, went on boat trips and longer hikes through the jungle. Perfect mix!
Accommodation: 1st night in Paraiso Lodge in Pillcopata, very nice, double room with own bathroom, warm water, good dinner and breakfast; very nice to watch birds in the morning. 2nd and 3rd night in Amazon lodge in the middle of the jungle, half-open wood huts we shared the 4 of us with own bathroom. Basic, but with mosquito nets no problem - it was the true wildlife experience! Monkeys came around the lodge, there was a natural "pool", hammocks, an open dining room where a toad or snake might look around. In the evenings we sat together with the hosts, played card games, our guide played the fluit, or made a bonfire. We rather felt like friends than being tourists.
Reco to bring: mosquito repellent - although no malaria danger, there are thousands of mosquitos and they suck :D! Binoculars - the guide has one pair but it's more fun if you can also look yourself. Good flashlight for the nightwalks. Rain poncho. Ear plugs (we had very loud thunderstorms every night). Hat - during the day the sun burned as hell, up to 37°C.
If you need a comfy bed and are scared of insects it's probably not your thing, and if you have more time I would really recommend booking a longer tour as the drive there is already 8-9 hours so it would be more worth it and more likely to see animals if you can go deeper into the jungle.
Otherwise, totally recommendable, a unique authentic experience and very very well done!

After touring Peru for a long time we were eagerly looking to spend some days relaxed. Amazon sounded perfect for us. We were convinced after reading reviews of this tour company and also found that the price was reasonable for what they included on the tour.
As we landed in Puerto Maldonado Airport, they had a representative waiting for us. He drove us to the starting point where we met our guide and the rest of the group to start this excursion. The journey was very nice. We had a nice room in a cottage amidst the jungle to ourself. The food was filling. They offered enough time gap to relax and unwind, the guide was nor pushy or rushed us.
we genuinely had the best time.

The mountains are beautiful and definitely worth the trip. The food was great. I would just suggest adding some fresh items like vegetables or fruits for much needed vitamins and fiber during this strenuous activity. Big thanks to the staff! I will add a few suggestions on how to improve the experience. First, it is not necessary to rush and finish the entire day's hike by lunch! I understand that Miguel wants to be done as soon as possible with his work and have a free and relaxing afternoon but that is not what tourists signed up for. The good tour guides organize the trek ahead of time. Also, complaining about tourists being too demanding or being rude and abrasive to women, whether tourists or local ladies collecting the entrance fees, does not create the best impression. Other than that, I will definitely recommend the company.

Excellent option to visit Peru and Machu Picchu. This package was pretty much enough as it covered the best of the Inca sites and everything Peru has to offer. The tour cordinator was very attentive, prompt and responsive. We had dedicated tour guides in each areas and all of them were incredibly knowledgable. Higly reccomended.

Has anyone gone on the three week tour of Machu Picchu, Lima, Quito, Galapagos Islands, etc.? I'm trying to figure out the confusing luggage requirements of the charter planes and train.
