Overview

Experience an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the Manu – 5 days in the Reserved Area
Are you ready for a unique expedition in one of the most biodiverse places on the planet? Join us on this 5-day tour of the Reserved Zone of Manu National Park, a hidden paradise in the Peruvian Amazon that only a few travelers have the privilege of knowing.

From day one, you will enter an amazing natural world: cross the Andes, explore cloud forests and descend into the low forest, home to thousands of species. You’ll sleep in eco-lodges surrounded by the sounds of the jungle, walks along quiet rivers, and walk on trails where wildlife manifests itself unfiltered.

Monkeys, macaws, alligators, tapirs… and with a little luck, you can see the imposing jaguar in its natural habitat.
This tour is much more than a trip : it is a unique experience, ideal for those seeking a deep connection with nature, real adventure in the Amazon
