Your complete day-by-day itinerary for the Manu Jungle 3 Days, with what you see, what is included and the meals provided each day.

Descend into the lush Manu National Park, spotting the brilliant Cock-of-the-Rock and perhaps the spectacled bear, and arrive at the riverside Guadalupe Lodge for a warm Amazonian welcome and an evening jungle walk.

Walk the lagoon trails spotting hoatzins, capybaras, kingfishers and monkeys while your guide shares the secrets of medicinal Amazon plants, then enjoy a lakeside lunch before returning to the lodge.
At dawn glide by motorboat to the famous parrot clay lick, where, weather permitting, more than fifteen species of parrots and macaws gather in a riot of color on the riverbank.
After breakfast visit a family-run wildlife rescue center, then begin the scenic seven-hour drive back to Cusco, arriving around 5:00 PM.
Exactly what is covered in your Manu Jungle 3 Days tour — and what to budget separately.
A few essentials we recommend to make your Manu Jungle 3 Days day the most rewarding possible.
Spend a day or two in Cusco (3,400 m) before high-altitude excursions. Hydrate well, eat light, drink coca tea and avoid alcohol. Our guides carry oxygen and support on every climb.
The hike is rated moderate: 3 hours uphill + 1.5 hours back down. If you can walk steadily for 4–5 hours at home, you'll be fine. Horses are available at the trailhead (~ US $20) if needed.
Dry season: April to October. Skies are clearer, trails firm, colors most vibrant. Avoid the rainy season (Dec–Mar), when colors mute under cloud cover. We run tours year-round but recommend the dry months.
The Andean sun is intense at 5,000 m. Bring sunscreen SPF 50+, a wide-brim hat, sunglasses, lip balm with SPF, and dress in layers. Pre-dawn is below freezing; midday can hit 18°C in the sun.
Free cancellation up to 30 days before the tour. In case of dangerous weather (snowstorms, road closures), we'll offer a free reschedule or full refund. Safety always comes first.
Travel light but smart. Here's exactly what we recommend bringing for a comfortable, safe day at altitude.
