4-Day Private Tour to Manu National Park from Cusco

Posted By : Sunshine10611171293
We did this tour with a Hungarian couple and an American family: very good atmosphere with our guide Fernando, native of Manu, who is a real well of knowledge and always ready to take us into the jungle early in the morning or late in the evening .
Very good lodge and very good cuisine: you really disconnect in this isolated corner.
My only regret: not having seen more animals.

We booked this with only a week's notice, but communication was excellent from the outset, with quick WhatsApp replies to my messages and clear information as to what was needed. Fernando met us at Cuzco airport after an early flight from Lima and we spent the next four days with him and our expert driver Walter. They were both delightful, as was Ruth, our excellent cook who we met at the lodge on the first night and who catered wonderfully to our vegetarian diet. All three were really friendly and knowledgeable and - quite literally - went out of their way to make sure we saw what we wanted to see. Fernando and Ruth are both from little communities near the EcoManu lodge (which is comfortable) and know the area, its people and its wildlife really well. This local knowledge was invaluable and wherever we went it was obvious that Fernando was well known locally and well respected. Four days is all too short for a stay in Manu, but Fernando and Walter nonetheless ensured that we had a series of fantastic wildlife encounters. Hummingbird gardens and a jungle trek to the lodge's observation tower were memorable, but the highlights were an hour in the midst of a Cock-of-the-rock lek and spending time watching a Harpy Eagle at the nest, both lifelong ambitions. Thank you Fernando for making childhood dreams come true! I can't recommend him and his team highly enough.

I went with a friend and it was spectacular. The activities we carried out included all the animals, plants, forests that we could see. Fernando, an A1 guide, always concerned about everyone and quite knowledgeable about the area. Their team also very helpful. I recommend this tour with closed eyes

We had an amazing Tour with Saulo, our guide. He gave us a lot of interesting information and took us on beautiful trips through the jungle. The chef (Neil) cooked really good food too! We had a lot of fun together. Can only reccomend!

Me and my two friends went to a 4 day tour to Manu national park and we had a blast! Ruth in the office help us a lot, our guide Fernando was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and speak both english and spanish. The food was good and all the crew was kind and patient. We learn a lot about animals and plants in the jungle. We recommend!

My girlfriend and I had a 4D/3N Amazon tour. In summary, we would have chosen something else or another company, we didn’t see any animal and our guide Annibal was definitely not motivated to look for them. 800 dollars for a tour are a lot of money, company should supervise more their employees, their slogans (monkeys, sloths, tapirs, jaguars, anacondas…?!?!) and their plan.

1) PROs: my girlfriend got sick the night before leaving and the manager Ruth was super kind to let us change the plan and re-arrange the trip two days after without any additional costs.

2) CONs: in two full days in the jungle we had more spare time than activities. Our guide Annibal was doing the minimum required before going back to his room. At night he didn’t want to wait for the animals or doing any sounds to call them.
Same thing on the days during our walks, which were made really fast in order to finish soon. He was just interested into birds and pictures of birds.
There was an activity on the program to see the tapir clay lick and we didn’t go.
In two full days in the selva we just saw birds, some frogs and a couple of Tarantulas.

We know that animals are free in the selva so seeing them is hard, but if you don’t even try…

This was honestly one of the best tours I’ve done while traveling EVER. I did the 7 day Manu reserve tour and it was an unforgettable experience. Every single person in the crew was not only incredibly kind but also insanely professional and knowledgeable. Especially our guide Fernando, who grew up in Manu national park and knows just about everything there is to know about it.

Manu is amazing, because it didn’t feel as touristic as puerto Maldonado. We slept in primitive lodges (in the best way) that really made you feel like you were in the middle of the jungle. EcoManu Expeditions have their own lodge which was lovely as well. We didn’t see many other tourist groups either and it was pretty much just us and our own group most of the time.

We saw a jaguar (!!), many tarantulas, capybaras and monkeys just to name a few. It was honestly amazing and I can’t recommend this tour enough. 7 days felt like too little!
