7-Day All Inclusive Guided Jungle Tour from Iquitos at Maniti Eco-Lodge

The trip was incredible! Our tour guide, Renee, was fantastic—kind and attentive to our needs as vegetarians. The meals were delicious, and the jungle was stunning. We had numerous excursions to choose from, allowing us to explore at our own pace. Camping in the jungle is a must; everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. This ranks among the most amazing trips I've experienced. I highly recommend the 7-day jungle tour for anyone seeking adventure and beautiful scenery. It’s a perfect blend of nature and fun, making unforgettable memories along the way!

5/5 I had a phenomenal time. My guide Linder and the staff at Maniti were knowledgeable and hospitable! Almost everyday there was something that made me go WOW whether it was seeing river dolphins and swimming in the Amazon, playing with tarantulas, or getting close and personal with an anaconda. A few things tourists should know before attending: 1. It’s a lodge not a resort. There’s no AC, no fans, electricity for only 3 hours per day, and no hot water showers. There will be bugs (duh it’s the Amazon and my room had a very friendly and very large tree frog that kept me company. Meals are humble, delicious, and cooked with care. And if you’re polite the staff will share sweet mini bananas with you. 2. Unless it’s in captivity (reptile sanctuary and monkey island) you’re not guaranteed to see anything. Nature isn’t on your schedule. That being said I saw the following species in the wild: pigmy marmoset, squirrel monkeys, saddle-back tamarin, great egrets, Amazon kingfisher, green parakeet, gold headed manakin, herons, crimson-crested woodpecker, pink toed tarantula, piranha, pink and grey river dolphin, two species of poison dart frog, green vine snake, a three toed sloth and countless other species I can’t name. I also saw some of the freaky fish that live in the dark waters of the river when a fisherman pulled up his net. Truly sci-fi like things. 3. Bring bug spray and a good headlamp. Also long sleeve shirts and pants for night hikes. Good boots for when it’s muddy, sandals for lounging about, and moisture wicking shirts go a long way. 4. Your attitude matters. Be kind and be adventurous and you’ll have a great time. The people and communities you will interact with are fiscally poor but rich in life. They’re some of the most humble and kind people I’ve ever met. Many live without running water or electricity. I say that to remind you that entering the jungle is like entering their home. Treat it and them with respect. Leave your need for western comforts in Iquitos and embrace the jungle. It’s worth it.

Best trip ever Tour exceeded my expectations. Guide Rodrigo was knowledgeable, fun, professional. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe and comfortable in his presence. Extremely knowledgeable with degrees in Biology, ornithology and herpetology you will learn so much about the history, culture and way of life in the Jungle. Already planning my next trip there! The lodge is basic, but it’s all you need as you’ll be too busy exploring to to just chill. Food was amazing and I really pigged out on the delicious fruits. Best to bring a battery operated night light, flashlights and flashlight headband, mosquito face cover, loose clothing so the mosquitoes don’t bite through… People ask what my highlight was, basically every moment. Don’t book through your own country, your tours will be basic. Book through Maniti and you will get to do things beyond what others can offer. Ask for Rodrigo, he was the reason my tour was 20 out of 10 stars ????
