Trip to the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve in 5 Days: Nature, Culture, and Amazonian Adventure

Exploring the Amazon rainforest is much more than a trip: it is a direct connection with biodiversity, ancestral traditions, and the spirit of conservation. This five-day program offers the opportunity to discover the most impressive landscapes of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, navigating rivers such as the Marañón and Yanayacu-Pucate, walking through flooded forests, and sharing experiences with native communities committed to sustainability.

One of the most special moments of the trip is the visit to the 20 de Enero community, located within the reserve, where visitors learn about the responsible management of natural resources. Additionally, one night is spent camping deep in the jungle, a unique experience that allows you to live the Amazon from within.

Throughout the expedition, a variety of experiences are combined, such as traditional fishing, boat rides, ethnobotanical walks, and wildlife observation including pink dolphins, monkeys, birds, and sloths.

Important Note:

  • Children from 0 to 11 years old receive a 20% discount. From 12 years old, the adult rate applies.
  • It is recommended to take Lima/Iquitos flights that arrive before 9:00 a.m., and Iquitos/Lima flights that depart after 6:00 p.m.

I had an excellent experience with Peru Jungle Trips!
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 :)

Pedro recommended the tour to Machu Picchu via Hydroelectrica route understanding my preference to hike whenever possible. He listened to my questions and came up with the appropriate advice. Not only that, Pedro is very knowledgeable of Inca history and relevant places of interest around Cusco. Thanks to Pedro - I was able to visit Saqsaywaman, Temple of the Moon and Kusilluchayoc!

Thanks to them, we got to know incredible places in Peru. The person who helped us via WhatsApp was super friendly and attentive.
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.

Excellent, very organized. We took the 7-day tour to Manu and Machu Picchu. The agency was always very attentive to us. The food in the jungle was excellent, as were the hikes. The guides, Lucho and Rubén, were excellent.

The Sacred Valley tour is highly recommended with Pedro Peru Jungle Tour. Excellent service and very affordable. Ask for the all-inclusive package. Don't miss it.

A great experience without a doubt. I took the 7 day tour to the reserved area of the manu and it was fantastic. The guide was very friendly, the cook always made good food and all the drivers/crew were very professional.

In the reserve we could find many types of fauna and the guide gave information at all times and knew many species.
Excellent tour (4 days, 3 nights) including the first morning at the Belén market. Very friendly. They fulfilled the itinerary with some flexibility and accommodated some minor requests we had. The accommodations are simple and have electricity and internet a couple of hours a day, but most of the time you'll be exploring the surrounding area, almost always by motorboat. Kevin, our guide, was pleasant and interesting; definitely a recommended experience.

If you’re looking for more than just a trip, and want to feel the energy of the Amazon while being guided by someone who truly embodies the spirit of the land, ask for Kevin.

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❤️
