“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.

Sandboard remote dunes at Lomas de Ancón near Lima with a private 4x4 ride, patient instruction, hotel transfers, snacks, and photos.
“Booked an English speaking tour. Tour director was great - clear instructions, support learning and great safety briefing. Driver did not speak English - we spent an hour with him as we traveled to get the tour director. Would have liked an English speaking driver as paid for. Driver was crazy in the dunes - certainly need to add a warning not for another who gets motion sick. I would not recommend our driver again felt unsafe at times with his driving in the dunes and in the city. Tour director made sure we had a great time sandboarding!”
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 Kukamas culture, rescued Amazon wildlife, Pilpintuwasi butterflies, piranha fishing, and a scenic Amazon River ride from Iquitos.
“Took the butterfly sanctuary, tribe and piranha fishing trip in August 2025. Kelwin the tour owner/operator/guide was great. Knowledgeable and passionate. Asking to be contacted over WhatsApp, made our communication prior to tour very easy. Kelwin made sure we were ready and met us at the hotel for a short (5min) walk to the boat. Boat was nothing fancy but perfect for the tour length. Butterfly farm and wildlife rescue was awesome. Animals were well taken care of given the circumstances. Rescue founder took us on the tour and you could tell the love the place was built with. We then went next door and met the indigenous tribe. Definitly…”

“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…”
