What Our Travelers Say
I was in Cusco and wanted to visit the jungle originally thinking Tambopata, overwhelmed with options. My desire was to visit the Amazon and be deep in the jungle with few people. I walked into the office and met Pedro who talked with me for over half an hour explaining different options. Ultimately, Pedro told me that Manu National Park is the place to be in the jungle with few people. Pedro helped me book a 6 day tour in Manu National Park 2 days later.
It is hard to describe how special Manu national park was. The trees, the wildlife, the river, seeing uncontacted Natives, and hearing all of the jungle sounds.
I would not have experienced Manu National Park without Pedro and Peru Jungle Trips.
I highly recommend this business!
Also thank you Celia for your kindness and the Poncho 🙂
Thanks to the entire team because it was a wonderful experience.
Don't miss the tour to the Ballestas Islands and the dunes in Ica. Carlos, the man who drove the buggy, was very nice and super friendly, taking our photos and everything!
Thank you, thank you.
In the reserve we could find many types of fauna and the guide gave information at all times and knew many species.
From the moment I arrived in Peru, Peru Jungle Trips made everything feel effortless and personal. Pedro, the owner, greeted me at the airport with a warm, open energy that immediately set the tone for the rest of the journey. He thoughtfully organized both parts of my trip, first to Cusco and Machu Picchu, then deep into the Amazon jungle, handling every detail with care, sincerity.
What made it even more special was the consistency throughout the experience. Every driver and guide I encountered shared the same heartfelt energy. They were easy to find, always on time, and carried a calm presence that helped everything feel aligned. It allowed me to move through the journey with ease and actually enjoy the experience without stressing over logistics.
Then there was Kevin, my guide in the jungle, who took the experience to another level. With a sacred presence and deep knowledge of the land, he didn’t just show me the jungle, he helped me connect with it. He was a kind and gentle spirit, who was fully present. His guidance felt personal and grounded.
Peru Jungle Trips is more than a travel service. It is an experience curated by people who genuinely care. I’m grateful to have found it, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something meaningful and real❤️
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your expedition begins.
To enjoy both destinations without rushing, a trip of 5 to 10 days is recommended. This allows time to explore Cusco, visit Machu Picchu at a relaxed pace, and spend at least 3–4 days in the Amazon. If you have less time, shorter versions are possible, but the experience will be more limited.
Yes, it’s one of the most popular combinations in Peru. Typically, travelers visit Cusco and Machu Picchu first, then take a flight to the Amazon (Puerto Maldonado or Iquitos). The logistics are simple and allow you to experience two completely different ecosystems in one trip.
It depends on the type of experience you’re looking for. Tambopata is ideal for wildlife with easy access. Manu offers a more remote experience and greater biodiversity. Iquitos is perfect for exploring deep jungle areas and staying in river-access lodges. Each offers unique experiences.
The best time for Machu Picchu is during the dry season (April to October), with less rain and clearer views. The Amazon can be visited year-round, though the dry season allows for more hiking, while the rainy season raises river levels, making navigation easier. Each season has its advantages.
It is recommended to book 2 to 3 months in advance, especially for Machu Picchu, as entry tickets are limited and sell out quickly. During high season (May to September), booking even earlier is advisable to secure trains, tickets, and accommodations.
It’s not an extreme trip, but it does require basic physical fitness. In Machu Picchu, there are moderate hikes and uneven terrain. In the Amazon, activities include short jungle walks and boat rides. Most travelers can do it without problems with basic preparation.
Yes, Cusco is over 3,400 meters above sea level, so some people may experience altitude sickness. It’s recommended to arrive and rest on the first day, stay hydrated, and avoid intense physical activity at the beginning. Machu Picchu is at a lower altitude, making it easier to tolerate.
In the Amazon, eco-lodges are commonly used, located deep in the jungle. These range from basic to comfortable options, all designed to blend with nature. They usually include meals, guided excursions, and an authentic experience close to the environment.
Definitely yes. It’s one of the most complete experiences in Peru, combining the history and culture of the Andes with the unique biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest. This type of trip lets you experience two completely different worlds in a single itinerary, making it highly recommended.
