So much fun!
We had such an amazing experience during our 2-day trip through the Manu Forest! From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organized. Transportation, meals, activities, and bird watching were all taken care of, which allowed us to just relax and enjoy the adventure.
Our guides were absolutely wonderful—extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. They spoke multiple languages, which was really impressive, and they made the entire experience both fun and informative. You could tell they genuinely cared about making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time.
The bird watching and exploring the forest were unforgettable, and the scenery and wildlife made the trip feel like a true adventure. The food also deserves a special mention because it was SO good! Having delicious meals prepared for us while being out in the forest made the experience even better.
This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Peru and an experience we won’t forget. If you’re thinking about visiting Manu Forest, I highly recommend doing a guided trip like this. The guides, food, organization, and adventure were all incredible. 10/10 experience!

Awesome 2 days in Manu
We had a an awesome 2 day trip out to Manu! We saw so many interesting animals and got a good introductory taste of the jungle. Our guide Jack was very experienced and knowledgeable so we learned a lot and got to see so much! If you have more time, definitely recommend doing the 3 or 4 day tours so you can see and do even more - but if you’re like us and don’t have enough time, this 2 day tour is totally worth it! We highly recommend and would happily book again.

Unforgettable 2 day Manu National Park Tour with Richard
What an Incredible experience with Machu Picchu Amazon Peru! Our guide, Richard made this 2 day Manu National park tour absolutely unforgettable. His knowledge of the wildlife, birds, and rainforest ecosystem was next level. He spotted birds, we would have completely missed on our own. Richard was patient, passionate, and made sure everyone in the group felt safe and engaged the whole time. The lodge, the trails, the sounds of the jungle at night were all incredible.

Thank you so much for traveling with Machu Picchu Amazon Peru.

Informative and Authentic
As i did not have much time in Cusco, i opted for this two day tour to visit the Amazon Jungle from Cusco. It was short but very informative and well organised. The guide was professional and knowledgable. The food were amazing, tried some local Amazonian food which i seldom found in Cusco or other parts of the country. The lodge was basic but well worth. One thing though, carry a mosquito repellent, it gets really intesnse after sunset.

A different experience in the jungle
I did the 2-day tour to Manu National Park and it was a really interesting experience. In a short time we were able to see a lot of nature and learn about the rainforest. Mr. Richard was always attentive to the group and gave us helpful tips during the trip. It was a nice way to experience the Amazon from Cusco.

A perfect introduction to Amazon Jungle
This was quite an immersive trip to Manu National Park, the drive was somewhat longer but was well planned with stops. I had the chance to savour some traditional meals. Although a short trip, this gave a very good introduction to the local way of life and spotted some local animals and birds, incluiding the Peruvian national bird. Highly recommend if you are short on time and want to get an introducción to the Amazon Rainforest.

Short but well organized trip
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.

Richard did a remarkable job in organising this short tour
Quite a short visit to the Amazon Jungle, although i wanted to do the four day tour but i chose this instead as i didn´t have much time in Peru. This was perfect to get a gyst of life in Amazon. Richard was very nice organiser. He stopped by my hotel the evening before the trip to broef me on what to expect and carry. The trip involved a bit longer drive but they did have planned stops along the way at some historic sites. The jungle is vast and if you have enoguh time, i would recommend opting for 4 or more day tour to get a much deeper insight.
