Best time of the year to travel? FAQS Peru Jungle Tours

The best is during the dry season from May to December however the Manu Road is already paved so delays due to road conditions are not expected

How much is the elevation range along the road trip?

Acjanaco Pass is above 3400 m / Ninamarca pre-Inca ruins (just above Paucartambo) 3900 meters are the highest locations still in the Andes, and the descent will be as low as 600 Meters (Guadalupe Lodge ) the road goes in a zig-zag while driving at the other side of the Andes. The Manu Road is under construction and paved on 2023

How much is the elevation range along the road trip?

Not too far the distance from Cusco city to the Manu tropical area is around 210 km where most of the Manu rainforest lodges are settled as well as towns, and villages at this transect all the lodges are still outside of the Reserved Zone.

Want to lie in a hammock and not move until cocktail hour? We’ve got a trip for that. Want to power up the side of the mountain at a high altitude? We’ve also got a trip for that. To determine what type of trip suits you best, each of our trips comes with a Physical Rating to let you know how physically demanding it is… or isn’t. Find out more about ratings.

What safety measurements do you have?

Concerning the backup facilities, all our overnight places have internet WIFI  and cellphone coverage in some villages along with the Manu road and near Boca Manu village. mini-hospital is available in Villa Salvacion and the remoteness of Boca Manu (medical post)

Typically December to April is the peak of the rainy season. During the Pandemic times, the Manu road has been under construction and is currently paved from Cusco all the way down to Atalaya Port  and it goes  beyond Salvation Village in Madre de de Dios Department

The road shape in the cloud forest is dependent on much of the weather conditions at the range of 3400 meters to 1400 meters between this transect the road passes by hilly mountains, currently there are only very few spots considered vulnerable to landslides that the local drivers take care and drives prudently to go across, we must mention that some years the wet season appears to be normal, no bad news about the Manu access most of the time.

Mosquitos (Malaria, Leishmania, Botflies, dengue)

Prevention is the keyword, always wear long-sleeved shirts and long trousers, Use insect repellent if mosquitoes are seen or heard (or always ), and sleep under the mosquito net provided. repellent on a shirt and trousers is good advice, Be aware of long-term effects even months later.

What about the Malaria treatment? 

Though it only is a small risk, it is possible you get infected with malaria in Manu, and we recommend you take prophylaxis when going on one of our tours.
The yellow fever situation is about the same. Moreover, yellow fever is almost always lethal therefore it is required that one receives the yellow fever vaccination at least ten days before entering Manu.

In the Water 
it mostly sounds like a possible activity while staying outside of the Manu Reserved Zone, Safe if your guide says so, Small Caymans are not likely to attack (a single case of Black Caimans has been reported within Manu over the years) Piranhas are not a problem, don’t pee in the water while swimming, though, You seldom attract the small candiru fish and they might mistake your body openings for the gill openings of a big catfish.
Always make your guides swim first to prove that it is really safe.

Anacondas
The 1997 movie ¨Anaconda¨ was a blessing for the rainforest, it scared people, and it is people who threaten nature, the funny thing about this movie is that it gives people what they already know or what they already think they know, all preconceptions show up, obviously the filmmakers did not care about facts of the real world.

What is the best way to carry money?
A variety of sources is only possible while staying in large cities  such as Cusco  however it is recommended to get some Peruvian Soles before leaving the city, there are no existing cash machines along the Manu National Park or the time you head into the Jungle so preferably takes some small bills for paying additional services(public toilets, souvenirs, cold drinks)

Scary if seen, but snakes are rare and there are about six fatal species in the region, Coral snakes are not likely to attack, especially not because their fangs are not big enough for it (between your toes is the most likely place, so don’t walk on sandals along the trails ) Bushmasters might be aggressive, they are territorial and nocturnal and will strike for the heat, just above boots, don’t lower your bumps in the bushes without checking them.
Radio–collared bushmasters have been reported to sleep within half a meter of a trail where tourists walk by without noticing the snake, so don’t walk off the trails without guidance.
Fer de lance snakes are more often seen, they love to check clearings and under buildings for rodents and amphibians, they are aggressive and easily attack if disturbed. Be aware, especially when walking around the buildings at night, always bring your flashlights, if you are bitten, it is not likely the snake has injected all its venom, that would be silly because it might take 2 weeks for the snake to produce a new supply of venom and humans are not their prey, try to relax, don’t panic, don’t try to suck the venom out by yourself, don’t cut into the flesh, these practices do not help much, you will be assisted by our guides that carries anti-venom as soon as possible or being evacuated to the local hospitals, in general, keep your distance from snakes.
