A Well-Organized Adventure in the Rainforest
I went on the tour with my brother. We can definitely recommend the 6-day tour that includes the Reserved Area, since you see so many more animals and nature compared to the cultural area. Our guide, Edson, was great. He could speak english very well and knew exactly how to balance professionalism with humor and enthusiasm. The same goes for our cook and the boat captains. Very kind and helpful people. We had a fantastic and intense time there and came away with many unforgettable memories.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this recommendation! We're thrilled that you and your brother had such a fantastic time exploring the Reserved Area. I'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Edson, our cook, and the boat captains—they are the heart of our team and will be so happy to hear this. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure! Best regards, Martha

Total immersion in the jungle
Incredible experience! We did the 6D/5N tour in the reserved area and saw several animals: various types of birds, monkeys, otters, caimans, frogs, etc. On the tour to the cultural area, you can also see animals, but the reserved area is perfect if you are looking for total immersion in the jungle. Our guide was Raul, he was excellent, he explained everything we saw with patience and good humor. We felt very comfortable with him. The food was also very good! I would definitely recommend a visit to Manu, whether to the cultural or reserved area, it is worth it!
Response from the operator: ¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron la experiencia en el Manu y toda la biodiversidad de la zona reservada. 🌿🦜🐒 También nos encanta saber que Raul hizo del tour una experiencia especial con su conocimiento y buena energía. ¡Le compartiremos tus palabras! Gracias por recomendarnos y esperamos verlos nuevamente en una próxima aventura. 😊 Saludos Martha

Amazing once in a lifetime experience
We had the 6d/5n tour in Manu with guide Lucho, local staff Cesar and Javier and unfortunately i forgot the good cook's name. Since we're the only two that booked in our case we had a private trip. I highly recommend everyone to take the effort and spend 6d in Manu with Vilca. Many thanks for the amazing week we had. It was an experience that we'll never forget, especially after seeing the non-contacted indigenous people, but also because of the guide's good guidance and endless knowledge of the area, as well as that of the rest of the crew. To be honest we're not most happy with the van driver (who drove as if he was in a rally competition) but the good memories will stay and we had the most amazing time in the area that our guides clearly has a deep appreciation for, which worked contagious. As our guide said, Manu has diversity, not quantity. We must have seen 40-50 species of birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. Not to mention all the spiders and other insects. The staff was professional and the food was simple but good with different things for breakfast and dinner and lunch sometimes underway. The guide knew the names of every bird, insect, plant or other species we came across and the 2 assistants we're natives from the forest with eyes for detail that you probably only develop if you are born there, incredible. Everyone was respectful to nature. We came close sometimes but if animals turned away, they were never followed or lured or something. Personally i would have taken the time to go to Peru from Europe even if it would have been just for this. Thank you so much!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. We’re truly grateful you took the time to share your experience with us, and we’re thrilled to hear that your 6-day journey in Manu was such a memorable and enriching adventure. It’s a pleasure to know that Lucho, along with Cesar and Javier, provided knowledgeable, respectful, and passionate guidance throughout the trip. We’ll make sure to pass on your kind words to the entire team—including our cook, who will surely be happy to know their efforts were appreciated, even if the name slipped your mind! We’re also glad you connected deeply with the diversity of the rainforest and appreciated the respectful approach our team takes toward wildlife. It’s a core value for us to ensure that nature is observed with admiration and care, and we’re proud that this resonated with you. We do take note of your comment regarding the van driver, and we appreciate your honesty. Feedback like yours is essential for helping us continuously improve every part of our service. It means a lot to us that you found the experience so powerful that you would travel from Europe just for this. That kind of connection to the rainforest is exactly what we hope to foster through our tours. Thank you again for choosing to explore Manu with us. We hope to welcome you again in the future for another unforgettable journey. Best regards, Martha

Great experience in Manu
Everything was great, particularly our guide Jose, program was flexible so we could decide what are we doing on the next activity.

Very good experience
We loved the 6-day tour to the Manu National Park and Reserved Area. Our guide, José Medina, an expert biologist in microbiology and ethology, continuously provided information on the fauna of the place, and also on the flora. Long boat trips (sometimes made eternal) allow you to see changes in river course, vegetation and different animals on the go, as well as being super relaxing. You have to be aware that what you will see is unpredictable: animals are in their natural habitat and are not waiting for you. Jungle walks are an adventure. In our case there were days that we saw many and others that very few. Be prepared for mosquitoes and any possible encounters with nasty bugs. The lodges in which we sleep super authentic and well cared for, some basic, but you don't need more if you want a total immersion. And although it is not the most important thing, to highlight how delicious was the food that Ivan, the cook who accompanied us, made each day. In short, a highly recommended experience.
Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por sus comentarios y disponer tiempo para contar su experiencia. Atentamente Martha

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6 Days Tour in Manu National Park / Cusco - Puerto Maldonado: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does 6 Days Tour in Manu National Park / Cusco - Puerto Maldonado cost?
+
Prices start at $1,990 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6 Days Tour in Manu National Park / Cusco - Puerto Maldonado take?
+
Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is 6 Days Tour in Manu National Park / Cusco - Puerto Maldonado worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Days Tour in Manu National Park / Cusco - Puerto Maldonado?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 6 Days Tour in Manu National Park / Cusco - Puerto Maldonado suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 Days Tour in Manu National Park / Cusco - Puerto Maldonado?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Days Tour in Manu National Park / Cusco - Puerto Maldonado start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
