The view in the Andes, the horses, the guide, the camping, the food, everything was great. It was a trip of a life time, I would go back anytime. These horses are amazing they can climb anywhere! Then we had that typical peruvien meal, lamb cooked in very hot stone. It was one of the best thing I ever tasted.

Can I take this opportunity to thank all at Manu Expeditions for making our holiday so enjoyable. The service we received from all staff we came into contact with was exceptional. We would like to thank 2 people in particular, Walter, our guide for Lake Titicaca and Edwin, our guide for the horse riding and Machu Picchu. Our whole experience of Peru was great and we would certainly use Manu Expeditions again; in fact, we intent to as we plan to come back with the children.

We cannot thank you and your team of Ramiro (Super Chef), Pancho (Master Boatman), and Jose/Nero (Rapid Rescuer and Wildlife Enthusiast) enough. This was a trip of a lifetime for us, not just because we came to Peru, a wonderful country, but because you enabled us to feel part of your lovely country and culture. We will always feel grateful and cannot forget our joint war whoop as we spotted and got close to our sleepy and magnificent Jaguar. The Chilean wine was an nice touch.

Nico Janz – Holland
I am back in Lima after a beautiful trip I would like to thank you for the perfect organization and coordination of the trip we made. The change in possibilities due to the cancelled flight in Cusco was handled perfectly, combination of the two trips was very well. You made true the stories that your company is best in organizing trips around Manu-Peru in a very efficient way.

Erika Lind - USA
In addition to traveling with a very professional crew, I was amazed at just how 'hidden' the Hidden Trails horse trek was. For me, I have never been in such remote areas. No phones, no roads nothing but natural beauty. We had several opportunities to meet and engage with the local people and these were all special moments for all of us.

Helen and Dave Kaye - Australia
We are home safe and happy after a wonderful and diverse ten weeks in South America. One of the real highlights was our trip to Manu with the wonderful Waldo. We felt totally looked after in every way. The logistics all worked well and the crew were excellent. Waldo's knowledge and good nature meant we learned a lot about so many aspects of Manu, human and natural.

Tom Blackburn - United Kingdom
We want to thank you for a wonderful trip to Manu. Our nine day trip was wonderful. It far exceeded our expectations. Also, Arturo was an extremely good guide; I don't know how he could have done any better. We also enjoyed our horseback ride in Lamay

Wendy Mayfield - USA
I just want to thank you for Ricardo Sanchez, our guide. He is so knowledgeable, organized, dedicated and….I could go on and on. He knows about the wildlife, the people, the histories, the land, the forest, birds, monkeys…..so much depth of knowledge. He made the trip wonderful.

Kate Goldberg - United Kingdom
Thank you very much for organizing a great trip. Although at the top end of our price limit we really appreciated the fantastic organization. Everything went to plan and ran very smoothly.

John Meyer - USA
From attention to detail, to the country, to the accommodations in Cusco, to the guide, to the horses, to the camp crew, to my fellow travelers, and to the weather - it was just great. Absolutely no complaints. The tour guide, Edwin Duenas, was probably the best guide a person could ask for. The whole operation was first class. I couldn't have been happier. I highly recommend such a trip for people interested in riding.

Dear Barry
The Duke of York of has asked me to thank you in setting up his visit to Cusco and Machu Picchu. Your expert guidence and help during the visit was much appreciated by both His Royal Highness and all his team. Your knowledge and enthusiasm of the area is self-evident. His Royal Highness was deeply impressed by Machu Picchu and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of his tour; I know that so much of it would have not happened without your help.

I wanted to tell you that my wife, our 2 friends and I enjoyed very much the 9 day Manu trip we completed in July. Everything went smoothly and Ricardo was an excellent guide. Given our interests, I think it was an ideal trip. Many thanks.

We recently had the pleasure of spending 9 days in Manu with Expediciones Manu (through Chaska Tours). Our trip to Manu was absolutely perfect!! Our guide, Ricardo Sanchez-Tucto was phenomenal! We are seasoned travelers, having been to rainforests in Central America, Australia and Tanzania so we were hoping to learn more in-depth information about rainforest ecology than one might get on a first trip and Ricardo came though magnificently. Ricardo's commitment to both the environment and to the local indigenous groups closely parallels our own. We were excited to spend time with the Diamante and Matsiguenka people. Our stay at Casa Matsiguenka was a real highlight of the trip for us. Visiting the boat "factory" in Boca Manu and watching the people use driftwood to create a viable, environmentally-friendly industry was fascinating.

Patti Rothman – USA
We just wanted to let you know that we loved it and found all aspects of it—guides, transportation, lodges, food, etc.—excellent. Thank you!

Sheila Thorne and Marc Sapir
What a great time on our Peru adventure. You have opened doors of the world to us and we are ready to go again.

Janet Besadny – USA
I have recently returned to the USA, after traveling with the St. Norbert's College trip, guided by Tino and Waldo. Wow!!!! This adventure, in and of itself, was great. But, Tino and Waldo made the trip phenomenal. It is difficult to explain to friends at home, just what an experience it was. The adventures, the hikes, the sightings, the lodgings, the smoothness of arrangements, the food, and the boat/bus/cook staff, were fabulous. But it was the incredible professionalism, personalities, and expertise of Tino and Waldo that made the trip a life changing experience.

Nick Blackwood – USA
What a wonderful three weeks - thank you.
Exciting, exhausting, enthralling, overwhelming, hot, wet, bright, biting, glorious, inspiring, imposing .... You´ll have heard it all before

Londan Sunday Times – October 31st 2004
"You can enter the Amazon jungle for some nature spotting with the best eco-operator in the region, Manu Expeditions. You'll see all manner of birdlife on the journey to the only tented camp in the Manu National Park, then hopefully spot giant otters, monkeys, and even Jaguars from the safari camp itself. The six-day tour costs £671 pp, but knocks spots off the cut-price competition."

Arlie and Ron White – Australia
Just a line to thank you for the wonderful trip to Manu. It was the highlight of our 6 weeks in Ecuador and Peru. We did the Complete Manu Biosphere Reserve Experience in early August with our guide Jessica Bertram de Sasari. What a fantastic trip with an excellent guide who was able to show us so much wildlife. It was also really good to stay at Casa Machiguenga Lodge and interact with some of the local indian people.
Thanks so much again.

Alan Sinfield – United Kingdom
I wanted to drop you a line and let you know that my son and I had a truly great trip with your organization. Your employees (office staff) did a wonderful job, I found them to be very knowledgeable and helpful, above and beyond the call of duty in some cases. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the Jungle wildlife, plant life and inhabitants, she worked very hard and had a busy schedule planned for our group each day. The cooks boatmen, drivers etc. should all be commended. I would recommend your Tour group to all.

Alison Cox – United Kingdom
The whole trip went extremely smoothly and was exceptionally well organized which made it very enjoyable. I was very impressed by all the staff working for Manu Expeditions, ranging from the many people who assisted us on our horse trek and whilst down in the rainforest and cooked such excellent meals for us (and in particular catered for a fussy vegetarian!). In particular, I was most impressed by our guides, Tino, who accompanied us for the whole trip and Arturo who joined us in the rainforest. Their level of knowledge was brilliant, both in terms of wildlife but also their wider knowledge of Peru and also their first aid skills! We felt exceptionally well looked after and the wildlife and scenery made the holiday a truly memorable one!

Mary-Rose Lane – United Kingdom
Thank you for an exceptionally good trip! I was part of the Oxford group who came back after three weeks last weekend, and am still dreaming of high Andes and rainforest! I am very impressed with the organization of the trip and the standard provided by both Manu and the people who accompanied us .I would really like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to our guides Tino and Arturo who were both fantastic in what they showed us and how we were looked after. I also learnt a huge amount about the wildlife and the issues for conservation in Peru - a subject close to my heart as I work in the field in the UK.

Richard and Michal Passarelli - USA
We would like to thank you for the really exceptional time that we had on our recent trip (private tour 4/3horse trek then 7/6 Manu). The logistics were extremely well organized. Our guide, Tino, was helpful in every way and very attentive to our interests. More so, he was very knowledgeable about the natural and cultural aspects of Peru. Tino was truly great. The food was great too. Thank you Barry for matching us a guide based on our interests - it meant a great deal and made all the difference. We would certainly recommend Manu Expeditions to anyone planning to visit this part of the world. Very professional!

Igor and Michelle Cjajkowski - United Kingdom
We wanted to thank you and your staff for what I can only describe as an absolutely wonderful trip with Manu Expeditions. We had an totally fantastic time - and enjoyed every minute of our 11 days. We found every aspect of the whole trip to be outstanding - we really cannot fault any aspect whatsoever. Particularly, I would like to draw your attention to our guide, Jessica, for special praise. We found her to be outstanding in every regard. We have made many trips in different places, but have never previously found a guide with so much knowledge and experience founded on such infectious enthusiasm and love for the rainforest, its peoples and its wildlife. We were impressed indeed by her knowledge of the birds and their calls - well beyond our wildest expectations. It is fair to say that Jessica made this trip an unforgettable experience for us. Please thank her again for us.
