Great Experience
We had an amazing three-day tour through the Amazon in Peru and would absolutely do it again. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, took their time to explain everything, and always made us feel safe and well taken care of. We learned a lot throughout the trip, and the food was consistently great, with plenty of delicious local dishes. The only real challenge is the journey to get into the jungle — the roads can be rough, but that’s obviously not something the guides can control. One small downside was that my partner didn’t receive rubber boots in the right size, which seems to be a known issue mentioned in previous reviews, yet it hasn’t been fully addressed. That said, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we really appreciated every moment of it. Thank you for everything!
Response from the operator: Dear Linus Thank you so much for your kind words—we’re truly grateful you chose to explore the Amazon with us. We’re delighted you enjoyed the experience, our guides, and the local food, and that you felt safe and well cared for throughout the journey. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the road conditions, and we sincerely apologize for the issue with the rubber boots. We’re actively working to improve our size availability to avoid this in the future. It means a lot to us that your trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Great tour- thanks to Edwin, Alex and team!
Great experience within jungle of 3 days thanks to the guide Edwin, Alex, our chef and drivers who took us! Overall, you have to understand that it is a wildlife experience and you have to expect more challenges such as lack of electricity, long distances, challenging schedules. If you are nature lover and going for seeing the nature that is the best tour, if you expect luxury hotel, sitting around and being pampered please understand that it is jungle tour. Come prepared, I would advise message tour operators few weeks ago as I did and they provided us with list of what to take with you. Most important take battery to charge phone, sunglasses, waterproof clothes, sun screen, torch light/ or something similar, bug repellent, ideally binoculars (at least simple ones) . Expect to go into muddy hikes and hot humid weather if you are arriving in end of rainy season as we did (April mid). We had electricity every evening and wifi which helped to charge phones/ communicate. For shower it was cold shower, but it is actually great option as outside is humid and hot. Do not bring ideally any food in your cabin as it can attract animals. Always be prepared for weather change from rain to sunny and other way around when you leave the cabin for that day. Edwin was our main guide and was great in spotting wildlife: we were lucky to spot different toucans, different monkeys, caimans and even a deer! On first day Alex was also guiding us through drive in cloud forest and spotting more animals. They are also great taking pictures of animals for you too if you want a memory from the jungle. Our chef was amazing too, she cooked great meals every day. Drivers were great most time tried to reduce the bumpiness of the road. Overall, thank you for amazing tour! If you are not sure about something I definitely recommend to drop them an email week or more before hand to be clear on what to expect.
Response from the operator: Dear Saule: Thank you very much for sharing your experience and for your thoughtful recommendations for future travelers. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your time in Manu and that Edwin, Alex, our chef, and drivers helped make the journey memorable. You described the experience perfectly — Manu is truly an authentic rainforest adventure where nature comes first, and we are happy you embraced it with the right spirit. We will gladly share your kind words with our team. Thank you again for traveling with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another jungle adventure in the future!

Real Indiana Jones adventure! Raw , Real, Nature!
If you like adventure then this is the trip for you. This was an amazing fun-packed trip that we will remember forever! Extra things id recommend bringing that werent explicitly mentioned: Motion sickness meds (Dramamine [US] or Gravol Peruvian), small room light battery operated ( electricity works in lodge room 6pm to 10pm and 430am to 530am) , sturdy bright flash light to walk in jungle at night. Ziplocs to put your devices in incase you fall in the water. Shampoo and body wash (they provide a small mini bar of soap.) Cash for tips. Pick up a duffle bag at their office day prior to repack in. 1 small power pack per person and 1 large power pack to charge other things. First morning there was no power so we got ready with flash lights, and second day same thing, but after breakfast they turned the power on for 20 minutes before we left. When we mentioned to locals in Cuzco we were going to Manu national park. They all said its great, you have yoir yellow fever shot (once in a lifetime) and other shots upto date right?. There wasnt mention of yellow fever shot from the tour operator. Make sure to do your research. Yellow fever shot requires 10 days time to start working before entering the jungle. So getting at Cuzco will mean it wont work. Bring metal water bottles other wise the plastic ones hear up and your drinking warm water. No ice machines anywhere. The trip: Early start in Cuzco at 530 am followed by a very long day of driving, but with many cool stops inbetween, making it not feel as long. We arrived at the lodge 13 hours later around 630pm.On the drive, we stopped to drop off our luggage since they provided us 1 medium sized duffle bag for 2 people(but you can ask for another if needed). There isnt a lot of room on the minivan for lots of luggage. Everyone brought either large backpacks or duffle bags. On the drive out we got breakfast for 15 sol pp around 930am. Eggs, avocado, bread, coffee concentrate (essence) and mint tea. Our driver was Alex, our tour guide was Alexis and Mayu was the assistant tour guide. They were all 5 star guides. They made the trip educational and you can see how proud and knowledgeable they are of their countries natural beauty and wildlife. After breakfast we drove a few more hours into the mountains . We stopped at a ancient inka burial site, there is a lady there selling trinkets so bring cash. After that, we entered the jungle roads that run along side steep mountains .The roads are rather windey.There were occasional rocks on the road that had fallen in part of mud/rock slides from the rain. The roads on the cliffs had no guard rails, and were very narrow which was an issue when opposite direction traffic came, however, our driver Alex was very skilled and squeezed to the sides of the road to let the large trucks get around our mini van.There were some road repair workers we waited on while they pushed the mudslides that covered the road along the cliffs off the edge to clear the road.This is the only road that takes you to manu national forest, so these issues would be the same with all tour companies. I just wanted to mention it so you'd have some sort of expectations, and it wouldnt come as a shock. We stopped by a waterfall and had lunch. They provided chicken fried rice and Drinks . We stopped at the entrance National Park and looked into a cloud filled Scenic valley. When we arrived at the lodge they told us the electricity works 6pm to 10pm and 430 am to 530 am, this was not accurate with our experience. The next morning we needed to be ready at 5am . The electricity was turned on at 5am when we left our room, and There is no cell phone coverage and the wifi only works when the electricity is on. After arrival at the lodge the first night we ate dinner and we went on a 90 min night hike. They provided rubber boots and we walked through wetlands . Bring a good flashlight and dont try to use your phones light. Its pitch black in the jungle and your trying to see where to step in the muddy water while avoiding branches. Our guide Alexis was awesome and pointed out all kinds of wildlife and vegetation. His English was great and he really loves the wildlife and nature. Afterwards we went to our rooms and had a short period of time before the electricity was turned off. The rooms are clean and have fly nets over the bed. The shower only had cold water, but it was refreshing to cool down before bed . The water for the sink is from the river so best use bottle water to brush your teeth. You cannot put toilet paper into the toilet or it will clog, as most places in Peru . Even the nice hotels in Lima and Cuzco had the same rules. Next day we woke up at 430am we had to use flashlights to get ready and as we left the room to have breakfast at 5am they turned the electricity on. Breakfast was eggs ,bread, tomatoes, cheese, coffee or tea. We drove for 1 hour to get to the boat. At the village we got on a long boat. We went down the scenic river for 30 minutes, Then saw a Capybara. Afterwards, we got off the boat and started our 4.5 hour hike in the jungle. Alexis showed us many plants , spiders, birds, and monkeys. Bring bug spray since there is all kinds of flying insects. Halfway through we stopped at a lake and got on rafts made from tree trunks tied together. We had 2 guides and the rafts could not hold more than 3 people so two people in our group voluntered to operate a raft themselves like a gondelier in Venice with the long stick. We went accross the lake and climbed up a metal observation tower, We could see the birds better up there. Then we walked back 2 hours to the rivers shore. Our guide Alexis and Mayu were great and knew a lot about the jungle. We got to taste termites (tastes like tree bark) and see nice wild life. We got on the boat and it took us to a black sand beach on the river. We got Tupperware lunch with a pre cooked pork chop , spaghetti, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes and They provided passion fruit juice. You can swim in the water if you like, Its a little cool temperature but refreshing. Then we went back to the fishing village . The guide alex bought us beer . Afterwards we drove to a hummingbird observation deck,where for 15 sol you can feed hummingbird and buy drinking water if you need it, It was a great experience. Afterwards there was a 1 hour drive back to the lodge. 4pm to 6pm we rested (no electricity or wifi) afterwards we ate dinner which was Beef Rice, cooked vegetables, dessert was purple corn sweet syrupy gel. After dinner we went for a night hike again. Alecid showed us a large none venomous spider that can be placed on your Rain jacket for pictures. We saw frogs as well. Got back to the hotel had 90 minutes of electricy and wifi. 10pm electricity and wifi was shut . For the next morning they told us be ready at 6am. No electricity was turned on in the morning so we got ready in our rooms with flash lights, again . Alexis and Mayu took us to a bat cave near by . It was a 30 minute hike in total and was very cool and interesting. We came back and had breakfast. A pancake , jam, bread , tomatoes ,cheese, coffee. After breakfast we got 20 minutes of electricity. Then got in the van 8am for our 9.5 hour Drive back to Cuzco. On all the drives, if the driver Alex or guide Alexis heard or saw something of interest while driving they stop the van and we get out to see unique birds or monkeys along the road. Bring bug spray, rainjackets , neck gator, 2 little power banks , one large power bank. Cash for tipping guides. Large metal water bottles, shampoo , body wash, rechargeable neck fan for the jungle walks , light hat , wet wipes , long sleeve shirts, bathing suit, motion sickness meds, and consider a yellow fever shot

We are very happy to hear you enjoyed the experience and especially the work of Alex, Alexis, and Mayu — we will gladly share your kind words with them.

Amazing Three-Day Tour
We had an absolutely wonderful time! We decided to go with the three-day tour due to our time constraints. This is a well planned tour, and even with the relatively short time, we were able to see a variety of wildlife, learn about the plants in the Amazon, and experience different activities. We were also fortunate to have an amazing tour guide and driver — shout out to Cleber and Samuel! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and had the sharpest eyes ever — they spotted so many animals that we would have missed on our own. Cleber answered all our questions patiently (even after the hundredth time of me asking if something was edible), and Samuel was a skillful and careful driver, which made us feel reassured and safe. Overall, we had an amazing time thanks to the Wild Watch team and would gladly do this again if/when we visit Peru again in the future!
Response from the operator: Dear Gloria. Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled that our three-day tour provided such a wonderful introduction to the Amazon's wildlife and flora. I will be sure to pass your "shout out" along to Cleber and Samuel. They are a fantastic team, and they will be delighted to hear that their sharp eyes and dedication to safety made you feel well-cared for (and that your curiosity about edible plants was satisfied!). It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back for another adventure whenever you return to Peru!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days cost?
+
Prices start at $399 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 Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 88 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 Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days?
+
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 Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days?
+
Around 31 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days 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.
What is included in Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days?
+
Included: Transfer In & Out (Only to locations accesible by minivan); Motor Boat Transportation; Storage Room in Cusco City (Optional); Snacks (Water + Fresh Fruits + Cookies); and Duffel Bags for Repacking (optional). Not included: Alcoholic Drinks; and Binoculars (availble to rent ). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 420 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Amazon Jungle Tour 3 days?
+
Across 88 reviews averaging 4.7 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, food and drink, knowledge and storytelling. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works. One thing to know: Expect real walking or climbing: reviewers mention the effort involved.
