Our four days tour to Peru Tambopata National Reserve with an English-speaking local naturalist guide is designed to offer you an extensive insight into the wildlife and traditions of South American natives in the Amazon.
Tambopata National Park and Manu National Park is home to countless histories, distinct species of birds, plants, and animals. Most of which you will be spotting while on a guided jungle hike.
Tambopata Nature Reserve houses the stunning Oxbow Lake.
They are a small body of water located in an abandoned meander loop of a channel. One of the unmissable activities on a tour in Tambopata is seeing the Parrot’s nests. Tambopata has the largest clay lick in the world.
Hundreds of vibrantly colored Parrots fly to the cliff to eat the clay every morning. These clays contain distinct minerals that help them to detoxify their bodies.
Tambopata’s diversity in wildlife is highly credited to its location by many environmentalists. The National Park nestles at the confluence of lowland Amazon Jungle and three other ecosystems.
At Peru Jungle Trips, we take pride in working exclusively with local tour guides. Our native experts have plenty of things to share with you which will give you a detailed insight into the life of locals and their traditions.

He did an amazing job of explaining the places we went to. He was also super chill and made great conversation. Despite accomplishing much in a short span, we never felt rushed. Furthermore sometimes when food is included in a tour, it's usually subpar, but the buffet lunch was fantastic and our group was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Cannot recommend this tour enough, especially if you find it difficult to adapt to altitude at Cusco in the first couple of days. Luis A2025-04-11Verified Reliable and secure agency An amazing experience! We got to know a lot about Peruvian culture, visited many archaeological sites and observed beautiful landscapes. The train experience was wonderful, certainly the best Carlee C2025-04-10Verified Very Friendly and Great Tour We had a great time on our jungle adventure. 3 days, 2 nights. We purchased the tour here in Cusco and the staff was very helpful accommodating the days we were available to go. They also supplied binoculars and a duffle bag for repacking. Very good communication in Whatsapp as well. Daniel R2025-01-29Verified Increible Highly recommended, very attentive.The tures are exactly how they sell.

Edu Z2025-01-07Verified I'd come back many more times From the beginning the very good service, always attentive to every detail to enjoy all the places visited ☺️ Lana D2025-01-01Verified Great! Affordable!!!! Highly recommend Pedro from Peru Jungle Trips. I only had a few days in Cusco, so I wanted to see as much as possible in my time frame. Pedro was so helpful in planning out my itinerary, and made sure that I spent New Years Eve seeing Machu Picchu and that I made it in time to Cusco for the countdown. Pedro not only gave me a very affordable rate (and that I know from comparing my quote to other travelers I met), but he was able to find last minute train tickets to and from MP for Dec 31st. He also made sure that at every destination, someone either picked me up or directed me to my next location. And of course, it didn’t go unnoticed that Pedro was constantly checking in on me to see how my activities and trip is going. Pedro genuinely wanted me to have a great holiday trip in Cusco.
