Jack was an amazing guide, extremely knowledgeable and organised. He put in a lot of effort to make sure we saw as many different animals on the drive down through the Manu park and also in the rainforest itself. Bring binoculars to maximise your experience, but just be cautious that animal sightings are very weather dependent.

Jack was second to none. They treated us like kings and, despite being few days, they were intense and we could take a very pleasant experience in the Amazon.

We spent 3 exceptional days in the Peruvian Amazon! The expedition was super well organized, everything went perfectly (and we can tell you that it requires a lot of organization!). The team was superb, an adorable and attentive driver, a cook who delighted us with all these meals, and a truly exceptional guide! 👌 Thank you Carlos for sharing your passion with us, it was a treat, you put stars in our eyes! 🤩 (The icing on the cake is that Carlos also speaks perfect French!) We saw a lot of animals, macaws, several families of monkeys of different species, toucans, hummingbirds, lots of insects in the nocturnal outings, dozens of other species of birds, incredible wildlife... and always with fascinating explanations! If like us you only have 3 days and dream of having a glimpse of the Amazon, go for it, you will be amazed! 😃 Another big thank you to Carlos! Olivia & Kevin
