Peru was a series of highlights for us and G Adventure’s organisation of our tour was top shelf. Everything ran like clockwork. All transport and connections were well organised. Guides had a lot of local experience and genuinely enjoyed interacting with us, having some fun and sharing their extensive knowledge. Food was great at the Tambopata lodge and breakfasts elsewhere were surprisingly good. I love the fact that G adventures works with communities in the Sacred Valley and uses some of visitor’s fees to improve the lives of the locals. Its certainly not all about making a profit for tge company.

4 days 3 nights – Peruvian Tambopata Jungle - A
Alastair • traveled in July
I stayed at two different locations along the Tambopata River that had different birds, butterflies, bugs and monkeys. The locations were similar and totally different all at the same time. At the first location visiting Sandoval Lake is a must. The food was very good especially at my second location and the people were friendly. My guides were both knowledgable and humerus, especially Tito who I spent 3 days with in the Rainforest.

What our customers ask about Jungle Tours in Peru
When is the best time to go Jungle Trekking in Peru?
The dry season from April through October provides the most favorable conditions for jungle trekking in Peru with clearer trails and better chances to see wildlife. In the Tambopata National Reserve near Puerto Maldonado the weather from May to October creates ideal trekking conditions. The Amazon maintains warm humid conditions year-round with temperatures ranging from 25-35°C at locations like Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion lodge. One TourRadar traveler who visited in December noted: "I knew I would be either outside or in open air screened buildings so I jumped at the chance. The cool showers don't really matter when it is so hot."
What kind of wildlife can I expect to see during a Peru Jungle Trek?
The Amazon regions of Peru host remarkable biodiversity. The Tambopata Reserve alone is home to over 100 mammal species and 600 bird species. Common sightings include capybaras monkeys toucans and macaws. Visitors to Iquitos may spot pink river dolphins. One TourRadar traveler recounted: "Brian our guide was very helpful and spotted so much wildlife including capybaras caimans monkeys tarantulas a scorpion frogs sloths all types of parrots kingfishers and lizards." The Paradise Lodge area along the Madre de Dios River is particularly good for wildlife viewing especially during dawn and dusk.
What unique activities are available during jungle treks?
Beyond standard hiking trails Peru's jungle experiences include night caiman watching piranha fishing and elevated canopy walks. Amazon Planet lodge features 15-meter observation platforms for treetop views. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "I loved the monkeys climbing on me on Monkey Island and the night paddle into the lagoon. The canopy walkway gives you a completely different perspective of the rainforest." Tours often incorporate visits to native communities and lessons about medicinal plants.
How are the guides on Peru jungle treks?
The guides bring deep local knowledge of rainforest ecosystems and wildlife. Locations like Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion employ multilingual naturalist guides from nearby communities. A satisfied TourRadar traveler reported: "I had the best guide named Segundo. He is so knowledgeable in the Amazon rainforest knows about every plant mushroom or animal we have seen. I've always felt safe around him and he is so friendly."
What's included in typical meals during jungle treks?
The food focuses on fresh Amazonian ingredients prepared using local cooking methods. Maniti Eco-Lodge serves three daily meals featuring regional fish tropical fruits and locally grown vegetables. According to one TourRadar traveler: "The food was amazing. Everything was so fresh and tasty. I have never had fish so tender simply seasoned and free of bones. I never realized how good pineapple could be when it is that fresh." Most locations can accommodate special diets when notified in advance.
