welcome to Peru Jungle Trips

The dry season (May to October) is ideal for jungle tours. Trails are more accessible, wildlife is easier to spot near rivers and clay licks, and there’s less rainfall. However, the rainy season (November to April) offers lush scenery and fewer tourists.

Manu is accessed by road from Cusco, often via the cloud forest and Paucartambo. Iquitos requires a flight from Lima or Tarapoto, as it’s not connected by road. Tambopata is reached by flying to Puerto Maldonado from Lima or Cusco, followed by a short boat ride into the jungle.

Depending on the region, you may see macaws, toucans, monkeys, sloths, caimans, pink dolphins, giant otters, tarantulas, and hundreds of bird species. Manu is known for the gallito de las rocas and deep biodiversity; Tambopata for its macaw clay lick and Lake Sandoval; Iquitos for pink dolphins and river wildlife.

Yes. All tours are led by certified local guides trained in first aid and jungle safety. Lodges follow strict hygiene and environmental standards. Travelers are briefed on safety protocols, including insect protection, hydration, and emergency procedures.
