Why Travel With Manu Rainforest Peru

Manu Rainforest Peru

What Makes Us Different from Other Tour Operators

Real Life Experience in the Manu Jungle

Like you, we are thrilled to encounter the exceptional in our magical surroundings! We seek out wondrous places well off the beaten path. Our trails, our private ecological reserve, hidden salt licks, pristine forests, and genuine experiences with locals lead to exceptional experiences, which are much more rewarding than any tour based upon looking out the window from a bus.

Authentic experiences are those moments that you know you are alive and are witnessing something unique and even life changing. It could be the precise moment you spot one of the largest cats in South America (the jaguar), or share a laugh with your fellow travelers on your adventure. Or it might be dangling your feet in the water as you glide down the river cradled in an inflatable tube. These unexpected moments are what traveling with us is all about, giving you a trip like no other.

What Does That Mean for You?

Our itineraries are specifically designed to include as much time as possible to discover new things with our local guides. It's not just about getting from point A to point B, or "seeing the sights" - anyone with a guide can do that. What we offer is local knowledge and experience to help you get behind the mystery that hides in the jungle. Our trips have been designed specifically for you in small groups or on your own tailored private trip to Manu Rainforest, Peru.

Connecting on the Trip

We believe that travel immersed in nature has a special power to connect people. This big world feels a little smaller when we make new friends as we connect with the environment that surrounds us. We want to hear your stories. Have you met someone special along the way? Let's share our experiences. We want to create a shared love of travel, respecting the environment, and enjoying our time together. This is the connection we want to create through introducing you to us, the jungle, and your fellow travelers. Share times with us!

Do you know that one person who takes the extra step to introduce everyone to their friends and make them all feel welcome? Well, that's us. When we travel, we want our new friends (you) to know our Amazon family, because we want you to feel at home as well as to have a deeper, more friendly and meaningful time on your trip. For example, Saul, one of our elder brothers, always livens up the atmosphere with his jokes and laid-back nature. He wants you not to be just a guest but a participant in our adventures in the jungle of the Manu. He's also a qualified and knowledgeable local guide. You'll share tea with the whole family at Manu Rainforest Peru (ROBLES), and we will share adventures in our little corner of the jungle. We can even play a game of 5-aside football with the people of my community. From this you will gather memories and friendships that we hope will stay with you for a lifetime.

Our Small Groups

Manu National Park is one of the largest, most mega diverse and unique National Parks in Peru, if not the world. With many tour operators vying for your patronage, it is a bit hard for you to choose. We are a small family run company, so if large buses and mono lingual staff interest you, by all means chose another company. But if you want personalized attention and authenticity, look no further. Manu Rainforest Peru's 100% local team will arrange an unforgettable adventure, and our small groups will make things easier and will allow you to maximize your precious free time. Instead of worrying about logistics, you can concentrate all your energy on having the experience of a lifetime.

Our groups are small enough to feel that you are exploring a destination independently, but large enough to create a good social environment. The size of the group will vary depending on where and how we travel, but the average size of our group is 7. We have discovered the perfect group size that allows us to connect with the environment through the trails.

The best adventures in small groups strike the perfect balance between planned activities and unplanned time. After all, we do not want dictate the form of your vacation. Although we have an itinerary to follow, there are always opportunities to move away from this when there is the desire and opportunity. Want to add an adventure? There is always room for improvisation or an unplanned adventure.

Our Local Guides

The best people to show you the heart of a destination are those who live there, that is why we work exclusively with local guides (us). Our leaders are not only experts in the jungle; they are like teachers with an encyclopedia of knowledge and enthusiastic providers of genuine experiences. They can guide you through the pristine forests with ease as you embark on your adventures in Manu National Park with us, allowing you to feel at ease in the environment. They will also help you get in touch with the locals in a charismatic way.

A local guide is more than a guide; they are the key to getting you into the environment. Our naturalist guides are the bridge between you and the Manu jungle. They know the legends of the jungle and the network of paths so that you can reach the hot spots you want to visit and not waste time and money in vain. Here you will have the knowledge, patience and passion of our local guides that you will not find in other traditional travel agencies.

When you think about it, working together with local people makes a lot of sense. Not only does it provide employment opportunities, it also ensures that we respect local cultures and support local economies. Tourism is a great source of income and we strive to help local people 100% LOCAL. Manu Rainforest Peru is 100% a local family company, founded by Angel Robles from a humble family born in a small community (Palotoa) within the Manu National Park. Angel acquired knowledge of the jungle thanks to integration with the environment and from his childhood he grew up and walked like a true native of the jungle.

Our Own Lodges in Manu

Because we have put years of research into your comfort, we design our programs with our own lodgings so you can focus on real life experiences and know you are safe. You won't waste time agonizing over every detail of your adventure when you can leave it all in the hands of someone who lives in and knows the area, and cares about sharing it with you in a safe and enjoyable way. That is why Manu Rainforest Peru made great efforts to build its own ecolodges in Manu, exclusive to its customers. We do not share with other agencies as do most traditional companies!
