5/5 experience, made exemplary by our experienced guide Ricardo (Ricky). The 6 day trip to Manu Reserve zone, with 2 nights at Casa Matsiguenka (tourists can only spend a maximum of 2 nights within the park for conservation reasons), while it has significant travel times (which is well warned by the company), provides nature lovers a fantastic experience to visit a fairly untouched area of the Amazon basin, giving you a real feel for the jungle. The on ground team was incredibly helpful, prompt in their communications, and on arrival/payment in their office, I was given an in-depth run through of the plan and ample time to have any of my questions answered.
Ricardo really made the trip - I could not have asked for a better guide. He spent 3 X 3 months stints in Manu reserve during his forestry studies and his knowledge and true love of the jungle shines through. He is the real deal and would highly recommend him as a guide. He went to extra effort to ensure we had the best chance of viewing wildlife. Another shout out to Jesus, our boat driver in Manu - who worked so hard, always with a smile - he didn't rest after driving the boat (through difficult waters) for hours, he then helped in the kitchen and service of food. Really an excellent employee and person.
Things to know
- it's early mornings to ensure you get the best chance for seeing wildlife
- significant travel times. Good for true nature enthusiasts however, chance of seeing wildlife during the boat ride (is mostly luck)
- food is decent for how isolated it is. Not as good as the food served on trekking Expeditions in Peru but that is a high bar to compare it to
- accommodation was better than I thought- there are insect screens (some holes) on the windows which keeps out much of the insects.

Amazing tours from this company! We had an incredible time all along the way!
The Manu National Park 8 day tour was amazing we got to see some incredible wildlife like monkeys, giant otters, etc. I really recommend our tour guide Ricardo Sanchez. He had some very in-depth knowledge on everything we experienced in the Manu tour and was overall an amazing, caring guide. We also were accompanied by and incredible chef and crew!
WWP also accompanied us on our Rainbow Mountain tour and Sacred Valley tour, which were also just as great! Our tour guide for Sacred Valley, Franco A. Pillco, was also amazing with a ton of knowledge too!
Overall I really recommend this company which seems to really have an incredible crew to make your tours great and build long lasting memories.

My sister and I scheduled a last minute birding trip with Wild Watch Peru on our trip to Cusco. Our guide, Herbert, instantly demonstrated he was an expert in local bird species. His knowledge was vast, and his patience was appreciated . Thanks also to our safe and attentive driver Benjamin. We highly recommend this team!

Had a lovely time. We spent just 2days/1night in the jungle but managed to see otters, snakes, monkeys and tarantulas. Great jungle experience! Friendly guides with a lot of knowledge, good food and an authentic jungle experience. Our guide- Alexis is the best and he is really jungle guy- knows everything about the forest and animals. Super professional and speaks English very good. The activities allow you to see different animals: caimans, capybara, otters, turtles, monkeys and many birds. Thank you all for this magic days!

We loved our time with Amazon experience! Thanks to Our driver Simon and tour guide Alexis went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and give us the full jungle experience. They made our time in the Amazon extra special with your knowledge and expertise of the jungle, and perfect English. We spent just 2days/1night in the jungle but managed to see otters, snakes, monkeys and tarantulas. From wild river rides to monkey sightings, every moment was a thrill. And the local hospitality? Simply heartwarming. Thank you all for this magic days! 120% recommended!

We picked Manu Jungle Explorer 2 Days tour as we did not have more time. But I wish we could stay longer. It was experience of a lifetime. Our guide was Luis, he was super nice and knowledgeable and he adjusted the program to us. Would definitely recommend! Saw lots of different birds, monkeys, spiders, some frogs, etc ... Got to try some new fruit too. Trip on the boat was really cool too. You definitely get a lot for your your money.

Had a great experience with this company. Did the 6 day Manu trip. Communication with Luis in the office was prompt and professional from the start. Guide Ricky was superb… friendly and knowledgeable and made sure we got the most from the various activities. All the support team were excellent, especially the local boat men. Really impressive in some tough (low water) conditions. Manu is a very special place. Really glad I took this tour.

I was going along for the ride on a birding trip with my daughter. I was a little nervous as I have never been outside of the United States and this was my first experience. As soon as Herbert picked us up for our hotel and him and my daughter started sharing stories about bird banders they both knew I felt at ease from that point forward. To say I was impressed with Herbert and his knowledge of birds is an understatement. I was amazed at how he would just hear a bird as we were driving down the mountain and he would pull over and find exactly where it was and pointed it out to my daughter. I was not very good with the binoculars and Charlie was great at pinpointing the birds with the scope so I could see the birds as well. Most of the lodges were so nice and the people and food was amazing. The only lodge I had a hard time at was the last one we stayed at which was way more rustic that I could handle. Overall, I was so amazed at the sites and the knowledge and kindness from our guides. Highly recommend!!!!

Hebert and Charlie were wonderful guides. They were extremely knowledgeable about the birds in the cloud forest, thesubtopics, and the Lowland rainforest. Experiencing their knowledge was impressing. I reached 910 species worldwide working with them. They are very attentive and kind, as well as easy to talk to. The food was delicious, though some lodges were better than others (Guadalupe and Cock of the rock). The only complaint I have is on the last night were were told we were going to be placed on a bus with other tourists. This was quickly corrected when we communicated with Hebert that we were uncomfortable as we paid for a private tour. Overall, highly recommend a tour with Wild Watch Peru. Thank you for the amazing time.

I went out with Herbert for a half day (my partner was sick). I had a great time - Herbert talked a lot and was very knowledgeable about the birds (including endemic species), and also culture. En route we passed by pre-incan ruins, and went to several different areas including lake, farmland, rivers, and a beautiful garden in a small town for snacks. I saw 40 bird species that Herbert kept track of for me with eBird and shared the list at the end. Really fun - even if you don’t know much about birds.

We appreciate your feedback, BaobabBackpack! It's wonderful to hear that even though your partner was sick and couldn't join, you had a great time with Herbert on your half-day trip. His knowledge of birds and culture, as well as the diverse areas you visited, made the experience enjoyable. It's impressive that you spotted 40 bird species, and Herbert's use of eBird to track them was a nice touch. Thanks for sharing your positive experience!

How safe are the roads between Cusco and Manu? This is my main concern.
Written July 28, 2017
Hi Karen the road its nearly 30 % paved and new but still curvy going up and down the hillsides and the remind dirty and gravel typical of the Peruvian Andes

I may be at an elevated risk for Yellow Fever vaccine side-effects and having to make a tough decision on whether to go into places such as Manu where the vaccine is recommended. I am curious what your experience with mosquitoes was on this trip and what precautions you took.
Written July 2, 2016
Actually, there is no risk of yellow fever currently, the best would to carry good insect repellent
