This was a fantastic trip! Pre-trip communications from Bonanza were clear and the office staff was very helpful. Jordy was a friendly and personable guide who was very knowledgeable about the plants and animals, as well as the culture and history of Manu. The rest of the team including the chef, the boat and bus operators, and the lodge staff were also incredible helpful and helped contribute to a great experience! I will always recommend Bonanza to friends and family and hope to be back one day for another trip!

I had a fantastic experience on the 6-day/5-night trip. Darwin was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, attentive, personable, and with a clear passion for the ecological wonders of Manu. He approached his work with enthusiasm and was always willing to share his perspective on the region's flora, fauna, and cultures. I would happily go on a future tour with Bonanza and Darwin.

The 6 day trip into Manu National Reserve was fantastic! Our guide Jordy was very knowledgeable and helped us spot capybaras, tapirs, monkeys, many different birds and even an anaconda! The food was amazing every night too, the chef cooked us many meals traditional to both Peru and to the jungle, including some delicious Pisco sours. I particularly enjoyed the night in the camouflage house and trekking through the jungle to get there. Thank you for an amazing adventure!

We chose the 4-Day/3-Night Cultural Zone tour with Bonanza Tours because we were short on time, though we originally wished we could have done a longer reserve zone trip. Any hesitation evaporated immediately—we ended up being the only ones on the tour, giving us a completely private, tailored, and intimate experience in the Amazon. The sheer beauty of the rainforest is stunning, and we were incredibly lucky with wildlife sightings. We saw capybaras, tapirs, deer, macaws, monkeys, snakes, spiders, and so many birds. Our absolute highlights included the hummingbird garden, the tapir clay lick and the river boat journeys. Our guide, Ryse, truly made the trip. Having lived in the rainforest his entire life, his passion for the jungle is infectious. We loved chatting with him during meals, learning about local conservation efforts, hearing what life is like as a jungle guide, and listening to his incredible stories. The lodges we stayed at were exceptionally clean and comfortable. Ryse mentioned they are currently in the process of upgrading them, so they are only going to get even better! As for the food—wow. I have no idea how our chef managed to whip up such massive, delicious feasts three times a day. We didn't just eat well at the lodges; we were served beautiful platters of food at random rest stops along the road and right on the river boat! Bonanza Tours is not the cheapest option out there, but you absolutely get what you pay for. It is worth every penny for the superb organization, comfort, and above all, their genuine care for the rainforest. If you want an authentic, unforgettable Manu experience, book with them!

Thank you for the best experience. Great (!!) food, Juan was a fantastic chef for us. And lovely guide, Jordy, was so full of knowlegde and very friendly. We are so glad that we went with Bonanza, and recommend it to everyone. Thanks for a lovely trip!
