Born from the heart of the Amazon, Wild Watch Peru is more than just a tour operator—it is the culmination of a life lived in deep immersion with the rainforest. The company was founded by Hebert, a local guide whose understanding of wildlife and conservation was forged in the rugged landscapes of Manu National Park.
In 2011, Wild Watch Peru was created and opened with an office near Cusco’s Plaza de Armas, bringing authentic Amazon expertise to travelers who wanted more than the standard route. Their focus was clear—small-group, wildlife-rich journeys into Manu and beyond, designed by people who know the rainforest as home.
By 2012, Wild Watch Peru went digital—launching its first website, adding online booking and payments, and building a global reputation through platforms like TripAdvisor. As interest in Manu wildlife tours and birdwatching in Peru surged, the company became a trusted way for nature lovers to reach the rainforest responsibly and smoothly.
But growth never replaced purpose. In 2013, the family created the Guadalupe Ecological Reserve (100 hectares in the Manu Biosphere Reserve buffer zone). They planted trees, built low-impact trails, and worked with nearby communities—protecting habitat where pressure from deforestation and poaching can be highest.
In 2015, they opened Guadalupe Lodge, their own eco-lodge designed for an intimate rainforest stay—close to pristine rivers, powered with renewable energy, and built to keep nature first.
Since 2019, Wild Watch Peru has expanded beyond the jungle, crafting journeys that blend wildlife, birding, culture, adventure, and archaeology—from Manu and Tambopata to places like Vilcabamba and Espíritu Pampa, while still offering standout itineraries such as their exclusive short tours in Manu designed to maximize sightings and minimize travel time.
Today, Wild Watch Peru remains family-run, deeply local, and internationally respected—known for custom-made Peru tours, honest guidance, smart logistics, and a commitment to sustainable travel that protects the very places guests come to experience. As part of our story, we celebrate the connections made along the way.
