Fabulous and Fun Juan was my guide, we had a blast and saw at least 33 birds that I recall. Great guide, great personality and just a wonder full day of birds. I highly recommend this experience ✨

A Fantastic Trip through a Magical Region I did a 5 day tour in Reserva Manu. It was quite an experience to descend from the highlands into a very unique part of the Amazon and spend some days there. I especially enjoyed the scenery (Imagine floating down a river in the Amazon and still seeing snow-capped Andes in the distance) and the bird life (very unique, colorful, and abundant). Joseph was friendly, attentive, and safety-conscious. He shared a lot of local knowledge about the people, animals, and history of the region. I plan to return some day for a longer trip so that I can see more of Manu.

The Amazon rainforest like I never imagined Four days was the perfect amount of time to really settle into the rhythm of the jungle. We canoed on oxbow lakes, hiked through primary forest, learned about medicinal plants, and watched macaws gather at the clay lick every morning. Our guide Jose was exceptional calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly observant. He spotted a tapir on day three that we completely would have missed. The entire trip was seamlessly organized by Neotropic Peru from start to finish.

Three days of pure jungle magic This was my first jungle experience and I couldn't have chosen better. Within hours of arriving at the lodge we saw blue and yellow macaws at the clay lick, monkeys swinging through the canopy, and hoatzins on the lake. The night walk was spooky and thrilling — our guide spotted a caiman with his flashlight from 20 meters! The lodge was comfortable and the food was surprisingly great. Perfect for those who want a taste of Manu without a long commitment.

50+ species in one day A birder's dream I've done birding tours on four continents and this was genuinely one of the best. We started at Huacarpay Lagoon at dawn and the waterfowl activity was incredible. Then the Ensifera Hummingbird Garden in the afternoon — I saw the Sword-billed Hummingbird for the first time in my life and nearly cried. José Luis had a spotting scope, knew every call, and was endlessly patient. Whether you're a serious lister or just curious, this tour is extraordinary.

Cusco is incredible Even better with the right guide I only had one full day in Cusco before heading to Machu Picchu, so I wanted to make it count. Neotropic Peru's city tour was the perfect choice. We visited Sacsayhuamán, the Plaza de Armas, the cathedral, and local markets. Our guide wove together Inca history, colonial history, and modern Peruvian culture seamlessly. By the end I felt like I truly understood the city. Highly recommend as a first-day activity to set the tone for your trip.

Witnessing condors in the wild is something else entirely I had no idea what to expect from this tour but it was one of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences of my life. Watching Andean condors — with their enormous wingspans — soaring above the valleys was breathtaking. Our guide knew exactly where and when to position us for the best views. He also pointed out other Andean birds throughout the day. If you're even remotely interested in nature or wildlife, this is unmissable.

The most stunning lake I've ever seen Turquoise waters surrounded by snow-capped peaks — it looked like a painting. The hike was moderate but rewarding, and our guide kept the energy up the whole way. Breakfast and lunch were both included and genuinely tasty. They even had horses available for the ascent, which was kind and thoughtful. I was nervous about altitude sickness but they had everything covered including first aid and coca leaves. Absolutely magical day.

The perfect introduction to the Andes We weren't sure if we should do the Sacred Valley or go straight to Machu Picchu — best decision we made was doing both! The Valley tour took us through Chinchero, the weaving demonstrations were fascinating, and Ollantaytambo blew our minds. Our guide never rushed us and always made time for questions. Small group, friendly atmosphere, gorgeous scenery. A must-do before Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu Full Day I had dreamed of visiting Machu Picchu for years, and Neotropic Peru made it everything I hoped for. The early morning train through the Sacred Valley was magical on its own. Our guide Bryan was passionate, knowledgeable, and took us to the best spots for photos. He explained the history of the Inca Empire in a way that made it all come alive. Perfectly organized from pickup to drop-off. This is the real deal — don't book with anyone else!

Itinerary

Day 1Welcome to the Amazon!

Upon arrival at the Puerto Maldonado airport or bus station, our friendly guide will greet you and transport you to our charming jungle lodge, nestled in the lush Tambopata National Reserve.

After check-in and lunch, gear up for an enthralling guided trek through thriving rainforest trails surrounding the lodge. Over two hours, your eagle-eyed naturalist guide will introduce you to extraordinary wildlife and plants, like squirrel monkeys playing overhead, vivid macaws and toucans calling amidst towering Brazil nut trees, and tiny poison dart frogs dwelling by glistening bromeliads.

As the setting sun casts a golden glow over the jungle, return to the lodge to rest and restore with sweeping rainforest views. Once darkness falls, set out by boat to spotlight elusive creatures of the night – keep watch for glowing caiman eyes, fishing bats, and maybe even an enormous capybara foraging along the riverbanks. Gaze upward at the dazzling cosmos in pristine jungle skies before heading back for a delicious homecooked dinner and good night’s rest, serenaded by a symphony of insects and frogs. Adventure awaits!

Day 2Chuncho Macaw Clay Lick Tour

Rise and shine for a vibrant dawn awaiting in the jungle! Enjoy coffee or tea before boarding our boat under the cloak of darkness. Skim along the Tambopata River searching for wildlife stirring at daybreak – perhaps we’ll catch a glimpse of the elusive jaguar or a stealthy anaconda.

As the rainforest comes alive with color and sound we arrive at the remote Chuncho clay lick, settling in to witness a spectacular natural wonder. For the next three hours, marvel as hundreds of scarlet, green and blue macaws, along with vibrant parrots and parakeets gather, their raspy squawks and whistles creating a cacophonous jungle symphony. Watch raptly as these striking birds jostle, feed and take flight in an explosion of color.

After an abundant breakfast, continue exploring by boat to spot riverside wildlife like lumbering tapirs, boisterous capybara families, sly monkeys and basking caimans. Bask in the thriving beauty of the jungle as our guide shares insights into this magical place.

Later, return to town reminiscing about the day’s wonders and dreaming of when you’ll next visit this verdant Amazon paradise!
