About Us

Conservation Through Ecotourism…..¡¡¡

We are a family-run company based in Cusco offering camping and trekking expeditions deep into the jungle. Our expeditions bring you close to the restricted Biological Research Zone of the Manu National Park.
We offer full adventure, fishing, trekking, climbing trees, camping, bird watching and jungle exploration. Our guides have lived all their lives within the jungle and know everything about its distinctive plants, animals and culture.

Our first objective is the conservation and preservation of this planet's ecosystem. We want to teach people from all around the world and the local people of Manu how important it is to respect and preserve this beautiful environment (“The lungs of the earth”). With our tours we hope to extend awareness of the importance of our rainforest for life on earth.
Our second objective is to give you a REAL JUNGLE EXPERIENCE, something different from all the other trips in Manu, something authentic. To achieve this, we camp using tents and hammocks in all our trips so that you are close to nature.

We also have our own lodges: Rainforest Lodge in the Cloud Forest and in Reserve Ecological Bonanza, Bonanza Lodge. Services available there include:  bungalows (single/double), dining room, kitchen, toilets, showers, game area, trekking trails and a bar. In these lodges you will enjoy a phenomenal stay close to nature.
We are four bothers and a sister, all of us professional bilingual guides for the Manu National Park. Local guides work as tour assistants who also participate in the expeditions. We employ professional cooks and very experienced boat and bus drivers. All our staff is aware of the importance of our objectives.

Our trips consist of a private overland bus which takes us through the Sacred Valley, over the Andes and into the Cloud and Rain Forests. We travel in a comfortable motorized boat along the Alto Madre de Dios and the Madre de Dios Rivers. We run our expeditions into private areas and pristine jungle in the Reserve Ecological Bonanza, Cultural Zone of Manu National Park and the Reserve Zone of Manu National Park.

Our expeditions / Tours are extremely flexible, and can be adapted according to the wishes of the client and their physical fitness. Our trips range from 3 to 8 days but can be extended if requested. So we offer tours CUSTOM-MADE to your particular needs and interests.
