Answers to the most common questions regarding trail preparation and logistics.
The Manu Jungle is a jungle eco-tourism adventure through the Amazon Rainforest in the south of Peru, inside the buffer zone of Manu National Park, one of the most biodiverse places in the world. This tour is great for those who are interested in experiencing the Amazon jungle in a limited amount of time by walking around the forest, observing its nature, traveling on a boat, and getting to know local communities.
In the course of this 4-day trip, you will explore cloud and rainforest ecosystems, which contain an incredible variety of wildlife and plant species. On the way, you may come across monkeys, colorful macaws, parrots, toucans, caimans, giant river otters, capybaras, frogs, reptiles, and many more insects and butterflies.
Moreover, you will have the chance to get familiar with the lush greenery of the jungle, medicinal plants, giant trees, rivers, oxbow lakes, and Amazonian ecosystem in general.
The usual Manu experience takes place in 4 days and 3 nights which makes it a perfect fit for those who want to dive deep into adventure and discover the amazing biodiversity in just few days. For those who would like to spend more time in exploring the Manu, we can offer a tour for 5 days in the Cultural Zone and a journey for 7 days in the Reserved Zone that is considered the most pristine area of the park.
This tour is held in the buffer zone of Manu National Park, where you have amazing wildlife watching possibilities and access to pristine rainforest. In order to enter the protected core of the park, one needs additional time and permits.
Of course! The Manu Jungle Experience tour is a great choice for beginners and those who don't have any jungle experience at all. The activities included in the program are moderate and all of them are guided. It is important that you have a good level of physical condition because there will be forest hikes and boat rides.
The difficulty level is easy to moderate. All the activities include guided jungle tours, river trips and hiking. There may be some challenges due to weather conditions, humidity and heat but it will depend on the group.
Some of the key highlights include:
In case you are planning to visit Manu, then the best time to do so would be from April to October. The reason being that the dry season would mean less rainfall making the trails easy to navigate and increased chance of encountering wildlife. Alternatively, if you are planning to visit during the rainy season (November-March), you can expect lush green environment and lesser crowds.
Coming to permits, none is required for visiting the Manu Jungle Experience area in the buffer zone. Your tour company will handle everything while making sure that they follow all the environmental and conservation protocols.
