Jungles of Peru - Iquitos, Puerto Maldonado or Manu

The Jungle

One of the best ways of exploring the jungle is to use a lodge near Iquitos, Puerto Maldonado or Manu as a base for guided tours into the surrounding rainforest. Another option is to travel on a riverboat cruise down the Amazon.

Prices are subject to change and include full board, accommodation on a twin basis, transfers from the nearest airport or city and all excursions. Flights, airport taxes and drinks are not included, except for the Manu Wildlife Centre where the return charter flight from Cuzco into the Manu National Park is included.


Jungle Tours:

CODE
PER29 Sandoval Lake Lodge 4 days/ 3 nights
25 double occupancy rooms, 16 with private facilities, 9 with shared; there is a large dining room/lounge. Excellent chances of seeing the Giant Otters playing in this ox-bow lake and plenty of birds. 8 species of monkey too, if you’re lucky. Transfers from Puerto Maldonado and all meals and excursions are included.
from £180
PER30 Reserva Amazonica Lodge 4 days/3 nights
The Reserva Amazonica Logde sits right on the river bank amid a 40-square-mile private ecological reserve located in the heart of the Amazon Rain Forest, adjacent to the Tambopata National Park. The nearest town is Puerto Maldonado, an hour-long motorised canoe ride away down the Madre de Dios river. A higlight of this lodge is its canopy walkway, a hundred feet up from the rain forest floor, where guests can stroll at eye level with treetop toucans and swinging tamarin monkeys along nearly a quarter mile of observation decks.
from £236
PER31 Muyuna Amazon Lodge 4 days/ 3 nights
140kms upriver from Iquitos, on a quiet tributary of the Amazon river in the heart of primary rainforest. The remote location makes wildlife spotting easy: grey and pink dolphins, monkeys, sloths and caiman. Rooms are simple but comfortable thatched bungalows lit by keronse lamps.
from £270
PER32 Manu Wildlife Centre 4 days/3 nights
22 private bungalows with hot showers. Amid spectacular forest and incredible scenery, the density and diversity of animal and plant species reach a peak here in this very remote area. A 35-minute flight from Cuzco to the mouth of the Manu River and a 90 minute motor-canoe ride down the Madre de Dios River brings you to one of best wildlife destinations in the Amazon. The area is a favourite with wildlife enthusiasts, birders and nature photographers. The return charter flight from Cuzco is included in the price.
from £786
PER33 Riverboat Cruises - La Esmeralda and La Amatista 7 days/ 6 nights (Saturday departures)
These luxurious riverboats are now available for departures from Iquitos. Passengers experience probably the most stylish and comfortable of all Amazon cruises in air-conditioned cabins, each with private shower. This is a remarkable and outstanding trip with excellent chances of seeing monkeys, dolphins, sloths, macaws and more. We would highly recommend these cruises to those wanting to explore the Amazon in more than a little style.
from £1507
