Verified Traveling to Neotropical Peru gave me an extraordinary experience. Neotropic Peru Travel provided me with an absolutely amazing experience. This was one of the most remarkable travel experiences I've ever had since every detail, from the initial question to the last goodbye, was carefully managed. The professionalism, kindness, and local experience displayed by the entire team set this firm apart from the rest.Posted onVerified A Must for Bird Lovers If you love birds, book this tour. We explored some amazing birding spots in the Sacred Valley and spotted over 50 species in one morning! Our guide had a spotting scope, knew every call, and helped us get awesome photos. Super peaceful, educational, and so rewarding. Definitely a highlight of our trip.Posted onVerified We joined a Manu National Park birdwatching tour with Neotropic Peru Travel and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything was well organized and comfortable, but the real highlight was our guide, José Luis. He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable about birds, but also super patient and enthusiastic. We spotted over 180 species in just a few days—including the Cock-of-the-Rock and the elusive Razor-billed Curassow. The lodges were cozy, the forest was magical, and the vibe was peaceful. Perfect for any bird lover!Posted onVerified Amazing Manu. We had an amazing experience in the Manu. We was four days walking throw the rain forest, seeing birds, insects, monkeys and a cayman. Jose was an excelente guide.Posted onVerified Fun in the rainforest My favorite part was taking the time to stop to look for birds/animals throughout the trip. Actually hiking through the forest was a pretty low intensive but full of plants and animals as well. Our guide Pepe was incredibly knowledgeableThe food was incrediblePosted onVerified One-day birding in Cusco We loved going birding with Jose Luis from Neotropic Peru. Our day started very early with a visit to a lake near Cusco, where we saw lots of waterfowls (some of which were new to me). In the afternoon, we visited Ensifera Camp, where we had some good views of beautiful and endemic hummingbirds. Our day ended tasting a typical Peruvian chicha at a local "chichería" before heading back to Cusco.Posted onVerified Extraordianrio Todo estuvo super organizado no tuve inconvenicencias con el recojo , hicieron que mi experiencia sea inolvidable me llevo un gran recuerdo de mi visita a machupicchu.
