In short: every single person of the staff was wonderful and the jungle experience spectacular!
Long version: we (2 pax) booked the 5-night jungle tour and even though no other guests were on out date and the usual group minimum is four they did accommodate us and the tour was absolutely worth the money! 🌟
They also helped us to finish the booking process via wetravel when getting USD from the bank turned out to be a very big hassle (beware of banks scamming you with hidden fees and fraudulent conversion rates!). 🤝
The roads from Lima to the jungle may not be extremely safe, but our driver Alfredo's driving was! 🚘
The drive in the modern Toyota pickup truck was comfortable enough since we made so many stops to walk along the road and spot wildlife. 🦜
We had captivating walks in the jungle, at day and at night and not only did we get the chance to marvel at flora and fauna (and get bitten by a few mosquitos and (harmless) ants - bring enough milosquito repellent!), but out guide Alex had information on quite a few funny stories about all of it! 🐒
Alex has studied not only tourism and teaching, but has himself lived in the jungle community and has been a farmer as well - and it shows! 😊 He shared not only textbook knowledge about the jungle with us but also his deep connection to nature and community! Thanks again for that! 🙏
He changed the itinerary for us to acomodate for the weather (rainy season) and it turned out wonderfully! 🌅
He was very considerate of our fitness level (slight back pains at times) and always very concerned of our wellbeing. 🤍
Juan was a wonderful cook and performed his magic even on the boat, serving us delicious full three-course meals even on the boat and vegetarian options were plenty 🥕
All in all, even though this was the most "expensive" tour we took in our almost 15 weeks of travel in Mexico and Perú it might very well the cheapest in terms of memories per dineros 🪙
Can only recommend! ❤️🤍❤️
The four days in Manu National Park were an unforgettable experience.
We saw a great number of animals and birds in the park.
Our guide Frai, was a very pleasant companion, who enthusiastically took us on a journey into the birdlife and monkeys of Manu.
The lodges were wonderful, and the people, like the driver and our personal chef, provided us with excellent food and took excellent care of us.
We would love to stay longer, and I highly recommend planning this tour for 6-8 days.
The trip really exceeded our expectations! The accommodations are superb, the guide is great and knowledgeable and the chef that comes along with the trip prepares amazing meals. We saw and learned a lot about the flora and fauna. The price is great for what you get, would definitely recommend!
We had a very good time with all. Organisation was great, the food was delicious and we were very lucky with the animals.
All the personal was very nice.
The day of return (especially in car) was too long and not as confortable as the day 1…
Thank you for all, it was a very good experience in your forest!
