You need to be fit and healthy enough to walk for 2-3 hours a day in hot and humid jungle conditions, but no previous experience is required.

Sure can! Over 50% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.

Tips are not included in the trip cost. These are entirely at your discretion but there is an expectation to tip for good service. Your guide will help with advice, however we suggest the below as a guideline per person:

Of course, you are free to tip more or less, and the amount should be reflective of your perception of service and quality - a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.

This adventure will take you from the Andes to the cloud forest and on to the rainforest across a range of climates. The rainforest is hot (over 30 degrees Celsius) and humid all year round, while the mountains around Cusco are often cold and fresh with a dry season that runs between April to October, so be sure to pack clothing for both hot and cold weather.

We recommend checking out the country specific information here and also talking to a travel nurse.

Your hosts are an NGO dedicated to preserving the Peruvian rainforest through conservation and community projects. Sustainable tourism like your adventure is an important source of income for them and a key pillar of their work. You will be staying at the Manu Learning Centre – a thriving research and education centre in the Manu Biosphere Reserve. Their work includes forest restoration, sustainable community development and assisting local farmers to adopt sustainable practices such as agroforestry. Best of all, you will be able to get stuck in and experience rainforest conservation first hand.

Travel insurance is compulsory on all of our adventures. Your insurance should include adequate protection for overseas medical treatment, evacuation/repatriation, your baggage and equipment and the specific activities involved on your adventure.

Your insurance policy should also include specific Covid-19 cover, including cancellation and curtailment cover if you, your travel companion or a close relative are diagnosed with Covid-19.

We automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates on a daily basis so this does mean that prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time.

All of our group adventures are specially designed for adults to enjoy (18+) as we want these adventures to bring together outdoorsy people who are truly like-minded. Children can be accommodated on some private departures.

You're in good company. Our adventures are typically made up of a mix of solo travellers and small groups of two or three friends who simply love adventure, pushing themselves and meeting awesome like-minded people. See here for more info about our lovely bunch of Much Better Adventurers.
