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.

Throughly Enjoyed every moment An experience we will remember forever. Thanks to German the guide and the entire crew of Peru Amazon Garden who were always around ensuring that we had a pleasant time with them. The tour we did with them was very informative and was insightful. We spotted several animals, birds and also got an insgiht into the culture and traditions. The night tour in specific was quite extraordinary. The guide made animal noises getting them off their hide outs and we could enjoy a clear sight of them, Highly recommended.
