Terrific three days in a jungle This is a good option to experience the jungle. This is better than other options in Peru by virtue of the proximity to the township. The guides are energetic and knowledgeable. The meals are excellent, including locally-grown ingredients. The transport transfers are safe and well-organised. Three days is probably sufficient.
