Here are some of the reasons why.

Strict conservation regulations are followed during their trips, guaranteeing a low environmental impact and boosting regional economies.

3. Expert Local Guides

Native guides from Palotoa, such as those commended in Tripadvisor reviews for their "encyclopaedic knowledge of flora and fauna," enrich your trip by providing information on conservation initiatives, animal behaviour, and medicinal herbs. Their knowledge guarantees that you won't overlook undiscovered treasures like nocturnal tarantulas or camouflaged tree frogs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the best time of year to visit Manu National Park?

With less rain, the dry season (May to October) is the best time to walk and see wildlife. Although it gives more vegetation, the wet season (November to April) can also raise river levels and make pathways slick.

2. How physically demanding are the Manu Jungle Tours?

Tours often call for a modest level of fitness. Hikes can be shortened or skipped, and walks on tough terrain usually last two to three hours. Boat travel is popular, and guides change the pace to fit the demands of the party.

There is mineral water available all along the way. River water is heated before being consumed in the middle of the bush. For increased protection, travellers are advised to pack water purification pills.

6. What vaccinations or health precautions are recommended before traveling?

Manu should be vaccinated against yellow fever. Hepatitis A and B, rabies, and typhoid are other recommended vaccinations. Although there have been no reported occurrences of malaria in the park recently, medication is always recommended.
