CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES
Verified Dream come true I chose this company because it is authentically Peruvian and our guide was indeed born and bred in the jungle, so he helped us see wildlife we would never have spotted otherwise. I can't praise the people involved highly enough. The captain of our river launch was incredibly skillful negotiating a dangerously high river after rains, the chef who produced delicious meals whether on the road, in the jungle or at the lodge, is an artist, not just a cook! And the lodges were all beautiful in their own way. Our safety and comfort were taken care of at all times, which also made each day a joy. Thank you thank you. Great value for money.Verified Great time in the Amazon Jungle We had an awesome experience on the 6D/5N Manu Reserve tour. We signed up in person and Carmen was easy to work with getting us all set up for the trip. From start to finish we were well taken care of. Our guide, Rive, was knowledgeable, fun, and cared that we all had a good experience. Bernardino, our chef, cooked us meals that seemed like he had a fully stocked industrial kitchen but in the confines of a boat. It felt like magic. We saw many different bird species including a Great Potoo (how did Rive spot that....?) and two types of macaws, otters, capybara, monkeys, caimans, night creatures like spiders and scorpions, etc. We went just at the end of the rainy season so we got turned away from the Tapir viewing, but Rive was able to get us in another night and still see a tapir! We were psyched. Most accommodations are jungle-nice, with two nights in really comfy Jaguar Lodge owned by Amazon Wildlife Peru featuring new construction, a king bed, and really nice kitchen facilities. You spend a LOT of time in the boat and they have made it as comfy as possible with comfortable reclining seats, a top to the boat, and ponchos if needed. It's well worth the price for this experience.Verified Sensational experience! It was a fantastic experience! I highly recommend it! I went for 6D/5N Manu Reserve Tour.It was a good amount of time - I saw around 50 different species of bird and animals - not to mention the flora. I saw 8 different species of monkeys, saw the otters hunt multiple times (and saw two species of otters, caimans). Bird lovers would definitely enjoy it. The guide was excellent - the chef was amazing - the boat and van drivers extremely professional. The guide was also very flexible and energetic.. I am running out of adjectives to describe the entire crew. It is expensive but absolutely worth it - I would say it was one of the most memorable experiences of my lifetime!Verified Amazon adventure! My partner and I did the 6N/7D trip into Manu with Amazon Wildlife Peru. This tour took us through a variety of lodges, all of which were great quality. The staff were a highlight, with Rive, our guide showing us many beautiful flora and fauna. He shared many interesting and funny stories with us which were appreciated by the group. The food was amazing, and it was impressive the chef, Richard, was able to cook such impressive meals whilst in the boat. The deckhand and captain showed great skill in navigating around a river full of hazards, we felt safe and enjoyed being taken care of! Highlights were having tapiers walk one meter in-front of us, seeing the otters, and experiencing primary Amazon jungle! Highly recommend this company!Verified 8 day Manu wonder We did an 8 day Manu trip . Each day was a wonder . Alex , the guide , was one of the most enthusiastic & knowledgeable guides we've met . Bernardino , the chef , was a magician . Within the confines of the boat , he cooked up wonders that would put a 5-star chef to shame . Julio , the boatman , gave us a masterclass on how to navigate a swollen river full of debris . We had ben warned it was the peak of the rainy season , but the weather really held up . All in all , a trip of a lifetime .Verified Adventure in the Amazon with Amazon Wildlife Peru We absolutely loved this tour. Alex is a very knowledgeable and experienced guide. He brought a professional expertise to everything he did, he was an excellent spotter and had an incredible ear and knowledge for birds. He was on the look out every moment of every day in an almost frantic manner because he clearly cares and wanted to give us the best experience possible. We did the 6 day/5 night tour to Manu National Park and loved every moment. We did feel there was a lot of travel time for the length of this tour, but all opportunities were taken to enjoy the scenery and watch for wildlife along the way. Looking back we would recommend the 7 day/6 night tour if you have the time because there are always more places to explore.We visited in January, which was wet and mosquito-ey but we had pretty much every location and accommodation to ourselves for the majority of the trip. It really was wet, with one of the most spectacular lightning storms of our lives, but there were dry periods every day in which we could thoroughly explore the areas on our itinerary. The rivers were exceptionally full due to heavy rains, which meant there were no beaches to look for wildlife by boat at this time of year, but we still managed to find many remarkable things. We got lucky and the rain held off long enough for us to visit the mammal clay lick overnight and were rewarded with several tapir and red brocket deer sightings, and an incredible jungle orchestra throughout the night.On our daily walks and hikes, we saw a diversity of frogs, monkeys, birds, an anaconda, and many interesting insects. We appreciated the stop at the hummingbird house for breakfast on our way into the park, where we got to see an emerald boa and countless orchids up close. Our personal chef was an excellent cook and pulled together a last-minute cake and cocktails to celebrate my partners birthday. We got to eat a wide variety of dishes and they were able to accommodate our dietary restrictions. We felt safe with the boat and van drivers (it was a very long journey, so we appreciated this). They were clearly experienced and trained to a high standard. The accommodations were varied, some more rustic than others but all were clean/comfortable and we were always welcomed with smiles. Thank you very much to Alex and the team for giving us such a beautiful experience in the Amazon!Verified An Amazing Trip in the Manu Reserve (Amazon Tributary) Amazon rainforestOur family of four adults took a personal six day tour of Manu Reserve. Our guide Rive was professional, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. We also appreciated what he told us about growing up and living in the rain forest. Rive was as excited about sighting a new bird or animal as we were! Our chef Cirilo prepared fresh, delicious meals in all kinds of circumstances - at the lodges, by the side of the road, on the boat! Although we did not have any hot water for showering while we were in the jungle, it was so hot and humid this wasn’t a problem for us. The trip was very well organized and the staff were all experienced. The interests we had expressed while planning the trip in birds and medicinal plants were well incorporated. We were very satisfied with our experience and recommend it highly!Verified Amazing trip, cannot recommend enough This 6-day, 5-night trip to Manu National Park was nothing short of extraordinary, and a huge part of its success was thanks to our guide, Will. From the very start, his deep knowledge and passion for the Amazon were evident. His expertise on birds is unparalleled—he could identify even the most elusive species by their calls or the smallest glimpse. With his guidance and the high-quality equipment provided, we were able to see and learn about countless bird species, each with fascinating habits and stories. It felt like we were stepping into a wildlife documentary.One of the most memorable moments was witnessing a jaguar swim across the river at dawn. This happened around 5 a.m., and it was such a surreal experience that I still get chills thinking about it. Will’s ability to spot the jaguar in the low light and calmly ensure we had the best vantage point was remarkable. His explanations of the jaguar’s behavior and its role in the ecosystem made the moment even more special. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you for a lifetime.Beyond the wildlife, Will’s storytelling added an extra layer of depth to the trip. He shared fascinating insights about the flora and fauna, weaving in local culture and conservation efforts. The way he connected the dots between the Amazon’s intricate ecosystem and its global significance was both educational and inspiring. He made the jungle come alive in ways I hadn’t imagined.The entire trip was well-organized, with comfortable accommodations and seamless transitions between locations. The attention to detail, from the meals to the transport, ensured we could fully focus on the incredible surroundings. But truly, the heart of this adventure was Will—his knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine love for the Amazon elevated the experience to a whole new level.If you’re considering a trip to Manu National Park, I cannot recommend this tour and guide enough. It’s more than just a vacation; it’s a journey into the heart of one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, guided by someone who knows and loves it deeply. A five-star experience in every sense!Verified Best tour of Manu with the best team! It was the perfect tour! William (guide) and his team are the best guides I've ever had. Delicious food, super comfortable boat, and all super friendly and professional. I consider them more friends than guides after that magnificent experience. They are experts in finding animals, we saw more than 50! Including Jaguar and Monkey Emperor! They take care of the jungle with a love that only a local can have and unfold so that we had the best experience and they did it!I can't recommend Amazon Wildlife Peru anymore!Verified Truly amazing experience Just got back from a 7 days tour to Manu national park together with Wildlife Amazon Peru and we had the most amazing time. The tour was so well organised and we had such a good time with the guide Ribelino who went above and beyond to give us the best experience in this beautiful nature were we got to see and learn about the wildlife. Also, the food we were served was absolutely amazing. Can’t recommend this agency enough. Thanks again for making our trip to the jungle unforgettable! :-)
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir haben eine Viertägige Tour gebucht und können diesen Touranbieter nur wärmstens empfehlen. Einige Tage vor der Reise wurden wir mit dem nötigen Equipment ausgestattet (spezielle Dufflebags für den Trip, Schlafsack und Stirnlampen) und haben ein Briefing bekommen, was uns erwartet und wie die Tour ablaufen wird. Am Abreisetag wurden wir recht früh vor unserem Bed and Breakfast abgeholt und gleich dem Team und der Gruppe vorgestellt. Das Team bestand aus Rive, dem Tourguide, Bernadino, dem Koch, und Alex dem Fahrer. Alle drei waren super nett und herzlich. Rive ist im Dschungel aufgewachsen und hatte eine unfassbare Kenntnis über die Tiere und Pflanzen im Dschungel. Von ihm war alles sehr gut organisiert und man konnte ihm immer Fragen stellen. Er war äußerst bemüht uns eine tolle Zeit zu bereiten und uns möglichst viele Tiere zu zeigen. Bernardino hat uns mit peruanischen Köstlichkeiten versorgt, sogar im Minivan oder auf dem fahrenden Boot. Jede Mahlzeit war liebevoll vorbereitet und dekoriert. Abgesehen davon haben wir sehr ausgewogen und abwechslungsreich gegessen. Einfach fantastisch! Alles in allem hatten wir eine super schöne und abenteuerliche Zeit! Vielen herzlichen Dank ans Team.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked a 6D5N tour at their office in Cusco. Our guide was Alex Curi, he was very passionate about his job, knew every bird animal and insect that we saw. The accommodation varied from OK to excellent. The chef looked after us very well, cooking meals on the boat, at the roadside and at the lodges. One of the best tours I have been on.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend our guide Darwin enough. He’s brilliant and knowledgeable about the animals and plants (he can name anything we pointed out to him). He also can spot animals/birds that were so far away, I had trouble finding them even with binoculars and clear instructions. It was a very enjoyable and comfortable trip. I slept well and ate well, and had a blast walking through the jungle and finding animals. I enjoyed hearing about Darwin’s life growing up in the jungle, and his frank sharing about the sociopolitical issues in Peru. A very pleasant trip overall that I would recommend to anyone interested in exploring MNP. I only wished I had done more research and signed up for the 6D trip (instead of the 5D) because we don’t get to enter the reserve zone during the 5D trip.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a tour with Amazon Wildlife Peru very spontanously via their office in Cusco. They very calmly and professionally walked us through the offered tour, the itinerary and what made a tour to the Manu Reserve Zone different from other tours. At no point did we feel pressured into booking, they were very friendly, open and patient with our questions. In the end we booked a 6D/5N tour to Manu. From the get go the tour was very impressive. Our guide was amazing, immensly knowledgable about the local wildlife and history and also incredibly good at spotting animals we would not have spotted ourselves. Also, he always told us when to take breaks and tried to make even the ways to and from Manu informative for us. The offered program was very good. A very good mixture of walks, viewpoints, night activities and travel. At no point did we feel overwhelmed or overly exhausted. Our cook was amazing and provided us three meals a day plus two snacks in the late morning and afternoon. The meals were very good and Richard has our deepest respect for conjuring up multiple course meals every day with just the mobile equipment, including him cooking full lunch on a boat navigating a rough Rio Alto Madre de Dios. One spends a lot of time on the road and on the rivers on this tour, which is needed simply to get to the reserve zone. But at every point of the tour did we spot amazing wildlife, even next to the road and especially along the river. Here I want to note that at no point did we ever felt unsafe or like someone was cutting cornerns. They were full professionals in what they were doing, from guide to cook to captain to helpers, everyone was exceptional in providing the best and safest experience for us. This includes the provided gear, which was very good. The lodges were good, we also were the first group to visit the agencies own new opened lodge, Jaguar Lodge, where we took part in the christening of the lodge and the opening dinner. This new lodge was comfortable a step above the other lodges we visited. All in all we had a wonderful experience and I would recommend anyone asking me to book a tour to Manu with Amazon Wildlife Peru without thinking twice about it.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an awesome experience with Amazon Wildlife Peru! Went on a 7 day, 6 night trip to the Reserve Zone of Manu and it was very well organized and designed for a mixture of downtime and actively exploring and going on walks to see the wildlife. I was solo traveling and joined a group of 3 other people, so it was a nice small group of the 4 of us. Our guide, Will, was awesome and super knowledgeable about all the plants and animals and questions that we asked. He was super friendly and shared some amazing stories with us as well. Our chef, Bernardino, was also fantastic and was whipping up the most amazing meals even on a boat! As a vegetarian, I was extremely impressed with the delicious meals that felt just as high of quality as the others’ meals. So grateful to have this experience and see all the wildlife in a non-invasive way, thanks for the great trip!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really well run and curated 4d/3n tour. We were very lucky with what we saw but your luck is helped when you have a guide (Alex) that can spot a sleeping monkey in thick bushes 20m away! As well as being a great spotter, Alex was very passionate and knowledgeable which made the tour even better. The food cooked by Bernardino was also delicious and very impressiveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a 8-days bird-watching tour in last August with this fantastic and organized tour operator. Carmen organized the trip according to our requests and needs, providing excellent transportation with a comfortable van, great lodges, beautiful gardens, and a very knowledgeable guide (Rivelino) and driver (Alex).Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My boyfriend and I did the 5 day Manu Tour with Amazon Wildlife last June and had such an amazing experience. The wildlife and nature we saw was stunning and we were able to spot a lot of animals thanks to our super jungle guide Rive. Not only is he very experienced, he is also great company with lots of crazy stories to tell. Chef Bernardino made sure we were never hungry and our taste buds had a party too. Driver Americo drove us safely through the winding roads. Truly an unforgettable experience. And don't forget Carmen, who runs the desk and answered all our too many questions with a smile. Highly recommended!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazon Wildlife Peru is a fantastic company, locally owned and operated, and provides the best (and most intimate) experience with Manu. We had a small group, just one other person besides my partner and myself, plus two boat hands, our guide, and a private chef. We did the reserve zone, which requires a lot of traveling as it is really remote. Our chef, Bernadino, performed miracles, cooking on the boat and at camp under wild conditions. Every meal was fresh, healthy, and delicious. And against all odds, extremely attractively plated. Our guide, Rive, was born and raised in the Amazon and is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Manu and nature. We had a lot of fun learning from him, and joking/discussing a variety of topics together. When you go on a trip like this, you should expect to have to go on a "hunt" - it's not a zoo and you have to look for each animal and hope you find it. Rive had incredible knowledge on the species we were looking for and really went above and beyond to try to find them with us. We saw pretty much everything we set out to see and so much more, this place is incredible and a hundred lifetimes wouldn't be enough to experience it all. My partner and I did a lot of research before picking, and this company was recommended by many on Reddit. There are companies that will take you for less money, but they were in huge groups and skipped all of my favorite parts (we saw these groups while traveling in the park). There are also more expensive companies that essentially just did all the same things we did (and also did not do some of my favorites!), staying at the same places, and taking a peek, we still had better food ;) The folks working at the office were kind and informative, also going out of their way to help us on a couple things. This is by far the best value for a trip to the Amazon from Cusco. Plus, as a local and family run business, you are not only supporting Peruvians but you are also supporting their conservation and reforestation efforts.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was an amazing experience! My girlfriend and I took a 6 day 5 night trip into Manu National Park in the Amazon. We were grouped with only one other person, so it was the three of us, our guide Rive and our Chef Bernardino. We also had a driver, a boat caption and a boat hand along for parts of the trip. Everyone was very friendly and competent. Big shout out to Rive, our guide who was very knowledgable and passionate and friendly. He made constant effort to give us the best experience and was definitely making mental notes of what kind of plants/wildlife each of us were interested in and would point out things to each of us specifically to make sure we saw them. He went out of his way and gave 100% effort to find us a poison dart frog, since we had told him that was one of our reasons for coming to the Manu. And he found us one! It was amazing. Also big shout out to Chef Bernardino who was a miracle worker, whipping up incredible meals while traveling, even on the boat. The food was delicious and quite healthy. I was expecting packaged sandwiches and juice boxes, but Bernardino always surprised us with full, well rounded meals even on the go. Amazing. Overall, it was a once in a lifetime experience and I highly recommend it to adventurous people who are into nature and love getting into it. 10/10
