Review of the 4-day Manu National Park tour from Cusco, with jungle hikes, macaws, river trips, lodges, ziplining, and practical tips.
“The trip was very nice - a lot of travel time but to be expected on such a short amount of time. The food was good - very accommodating for vegans and vegetarians. Saw lots of animals, insects, plants, etc. The lodges were above my expectations for being in the jungle. Thanks to Yajahira, who was a lovely tour guide.”
Review of a 4-day Manu National Park tour from Cusco, with jungle wildlife, river travel, basic lodges, meals, costs, and practical tips.
“What is advertised here and what actually happened on the tour, didn’t quite match up. The drive there was way longer and steeper than anticipated, some 13 hours through steep mountains. Okay for those who can handle it, but terrible for those with a scare of hights. The first night in the lodge was nothing to brag about. The morning after we travelled to Manu, which was an improvement. The stop at the humming bird sanctuary was great! The boat ride there was fun, and we saw some interesting birds along the way. The trip from the Manu lodge into the lake was super rainy and exciting. All about the…”

Review of the 4-day private Manu National Park tour from Cusco, with cloud forests, river travel, wildlife walks, lodge stays, and practical advice.
“We had been looking forward to the visit in the Manu National Park, but what we experienced, exceeded by far our expectations. It was indeed fantastic. What we managed to see during 4 days we had with Fernando was FANTASTIC. Fernando showed us so many interesting places and we managed to see so many animals living in the jungle, around the river, the lagoon, and on the way to and from the lodge back to Cusco. Amazing experience for us that we never forget. We even made the chocolate from the beans that grow in the jungle around the lodge. The cook prepared great dishes for us, including a very…”

Explore Manu National Park from Cusco in 3 days, with cock-of-the-rock sightings, kayaking, clay licks, wildlife, and cloud forest scenery.
“Taking the three-day tour to Manu National Park was one of the best decisions of my trip to Peru. From the very beginning, the organization was impeccable: the punctual pickup in Cusco, the comfortable and safe transportation, and the warmth with which our guide greeted us made all the difference. During these three days, we were able to explore the Manu cultural zone, a perfect gateway to the Amazon. The landscape is simply breathtaking: rushing rivers, endless forests, and a biodiversity that never ceases to amaze. We walked along trails surrounded by lush vegetation, listening to birdsong and the murmur of the jungle, and we were fortunate enough to observe…”

Explore Manu National Park from Cusco in two days with cloud forests, jungle trails, wildlife, Lake Machuwasi, meals, and a naturalist guide.
“Had an exceptional trip to Amazon jungle from Cusco, although I could just get an overview of Amazon in two days it was perfectly organized. They included all major highlights in the trip and never felt hurried. The guide, Saul was very knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about sharing the history of the place and culture with the group. I seriously wish I had more time to explore, maybe a reason to visit Peru again.”
From the Inca stonework to the dune fields, and the best of each.
