Wonderful trip to Manu - This was an amazing tour to the cultural zone of Parque Nacional del Manu and the highlight of our trip to Peru. Manu Jungle Trips was great to work with, Edgar provides a thorough explanation of the entire itinerary and is always available to answer questions by Whataspp (or in person once you are in Cusco) plus provides you with all the recommendations for getting ready for the trip. Our guide German from Amazon Peru Travellers was incredibly knowledgeable about the plants, wildlife, habitats, and the surrounding native communities. During the hikes and walks, we learned so much about the flora and fauna of the area from German. The food was fresh and delicious in the style of home-cooked Peruvian meals. For anyone who loves the outdoors and adventure and is interested in ecotoursim/responsible tourism, this trip is highly recommended. You will see an incredibly amount of species of birds, beetles, butterflies, trees and plants - and best of all, experience the magic and peace of being in a rainforest.

Was amazing this trips - Tour 4 days was very intense to be in contact with living nature, thanks to the kindness of Edgar who gave us security and great support at all times, where we experienced our in the manu park, where our guide taught us about the jungle his experience, custom on walks we observe many different species and some mammals, capybara, wild pig, anteater, sloth bear and a number of birds such as parrots, parakeets and macaws, native plants, giant trees and the Ayahuasca plant and much more
We want to say the food was excellent and the hostel was very comfortable
We are very grateful to our guide German for the work he did with us, we recommend that anyone who wants to live a wonderful experience and be in contact with living nature, do not forget to visit this agency, thank you very much for everything.

My literal favorite trip I've ever taken - The 4-day cultural zone trip into Manu was AMAZING. Manu Jungle Trips answered my many questions quickly via Whatsapp and were very accommodating with scheduling the date and duration of our tour (we switched the start day and length like 3x lol). Our guide Julio was a blast - he was hilarious and eager to show us everything the jungle had to offer. We saw 15+ birds on our way into the jungle, monkeys, macaws, snakes, giant spiders, etc. Julio helped us set up a bonfire on the beach, went star gazing with us, and let us take an extra trip down the stream on the raft - this was all above and beyond the itinerary. Also shoutout to Johan and Orlando for being the coolest. The price was extremely affordable and I could not recommend this trip more. The absolute highlight of our trip to Peru!

Not Recomended - First of all my tour said that it was going to be a total of 6 to 8 people, resulted to be a total of 11... we were kind of tight in the van, arguments broke up between the passengers for that reason that the tour became uncomfortable and some unpleasant... Second, the lodge did not have hot water.. Third, The zip line was not working... Fourth, the expected activities were not been followed... the disappointing part of all, the tour guide left us by our self for a day and a half in the middle of the jungle in our Lodge.. someone that was not in charge of the tour took us back to Atalaya were we got put in to a Taxi to go back to Cusco, The way back to Cusco was so scary when police officers asked us for our passports and were wondering why tourists were using regular transportation instead of private, I didn't know what to think when other tour guides told us not to trust the police... Taxi driver never talked to us at all.. it was so uncomfortable because we felt so left aside and scary because we did not know anybody that was getting off and on the Taxi van on the way to Cusco..
