Recommendations for your tour:

  • It is suggested for the comfort of the passengers during their trip and their lodging in the Lodge to organize in advance a backpack or a small suitcase with the absolutely necessary (15 Kg) for their stay in the Lodge.
  • The suitcases or the rest of the luggage will be left in custody in Cusco, while the stay in the lodge lasts.

Before you Go:

Here are just a few things you’ll want to keep in mind.

  • Although dry season (May to October) is known as the best time to visit the jungle due to fewer rainy days, the rain forest is warm year round. Expect high humidity levels.
  • Before visiting the Amazon Basin, check with your doctor about possible recommended vaccinations.
  • Guided jungle tours are recommended, as tours guides are knowledgeable when it comes to navigation, general safety, and the local tribes. You’re going to want to carry insect repellent.

Doubts and Frequent Questions about Manu Amazon Tour
Inca Trail Machu

When is the best time to visit the Amazon in Peru?

Since the area is so close to the equator, the temperature does not very much throughout the year. The rainy season in the Peruvian Andes starts in about December. But the "dry" season does not mean that it does not rain then - ​it just means that it rains a little less often. It can rain at any time of the year, usually in the afternoon for a few hours.

 

Are there mosquitos in the Rainforest?

Yes, we recommend to bring along a good mosquitoes repellent. In case you visit the rainforest during the month of December, January, February or March (rainy season), we strongly recommend a strong especial mosquito repellent. In addition we also recommend you to bring a couple of long sleeve t-shirts; they are very helpful in this case.

 

How can I prevent the altitude sickness?

If you are just arriving from your country to Lima (sea level) and then to the highlands (Arequipa, Cusco, Huaraz, Cajamarca, Puno), we recommend you to take it easy, do not push yourself too much on the first hours. It is advisable to drink plenty of fluids such as water.

 

What kind of clothing should I bring to the Amazon?

Travelling on the Peruvian coast, you may wear light clothing (shorts, T-shirts, sandals) during the day is warm, excepts mornings and nights. During our visit to the Andes we strongly recommend to bring proper warm clothing for the cold and rain (December to April). On the jungle, you will need light clothing.


I must carry money exchange?

When you arrive in Perú it is best to do so with U.S. dollars. While most western currency can be exchanged for Peruvian Soles rather easily, any shop, restaurant, or business will take U.S. dollars as payment. This can not be said readily of all other western currency. Be prepared however to receive your change in Soles. It is a good idea not to use bills in excess of $10-$20.00 U.S., as you might find it difficult for the merchant to change anything larger
