Incredible experience with José in the jungle ! - We booked the 4D/3N trip in Manu parc through another agency, and we were delighted to end up with expediciones vilca instead !!
José was an amazing guide. He had a very impressive knowledge of the flora and fauna of the jungle, and some very good stories to tell. He was very careful and always tried to meet our expectations and needs, speaks a perfect English, and was very funny ! The food was absolutely AMAZING, big up to the cook ! We saw a lot of animals and did many walks, including by night. We even got to spend some time swimming in the river ! Incredible experience we will never forget. Thank to all the Vilca team !

4 day trip in Manu - Our experience was absolutely incredible. We were amazed by all the wildlife and enjoyed every part of our trip. The walks in the jungle were very interesting and well organised. Our guide José was very funny and extremely knowledgeable about all the things in Manu, from the plants, insects rivers and larger animals. We saw monkeys, a wide range of birds, capybaras, tarantulas and even a tapir. The swimming in the river was a highlight of the trip and was so much fun! We would highly recommend this trip to anyone and would say it was easily worth the money we paid and we highly recommend José.

Interesting and good! - Very cool to get out and see a different type of nature! It was very humid and warm most of the time though, and wasn't easy to cool down except during night or in the shower.
We saw a lot of different animals, including exotic birds, spiders, toads, capybaras, frogs, monkeys, parrots, and we even got to see a tapir!
Our guide Jose was super knowledgeable and witty, and knew exactly what to look for and how to spot different animals (no caymans or snakes this time though), so that definitely made the trip even better 👍🏻

Amazing trip - Had an amazing experience with our guide Jose who was both very knowledgeable and funny. He made sure everyday was an exciting adventure and we managed to learn so much and see so many animals. Monkeys, birds and even a tapir! The lodges were very comfortable and clean and food was delicious. Would recommend this tour to anyone! Had a great time thank you very much.

Great experience! Thank you Darwin, Jonathan and Cirillo!:)) - We made the 4-day Manu Park expedition with Darwin (our guide), Cirillo (our cook) and Jonathan (our driver): we were a small group of 4, which was really nice to enjoy the experience. Everything was extremely well organized (car and boat trips, lodges: total care and super quality) and we were always well informed before each activity. Cirillo was an amazing cook who, on the road, by boat, and in the lodges in the middle of the jungle, prepared exceptional breakfast/lunch/dinner:)) Jungle hikes were a unique experience (especially at night in the camouflage cabin), and we could observe a multitude of birds, monkeys, tapirs, deer, sloths, ... Darwin, our guide, was super friendly, and very professional and considerate before/during each activity. Darwin is a passionate and exciting guide, a true science well who wanted to share with us everything he knew about the jungle. In two words: unique experience. We recommend Bonanza Tours, many thanks to Darwin, Jonathan and Cirillo. Alison & Emmanuel

A tour you won't forget - Our rainforest tour in Manu National Park was unique and a real highlight in our Peru vacation. Our tour guide was Nicolás, a trained biologist who recognizes every kind of bird even without binoculars. Nicolás has helped to make this holiday unforgettable. There was no question he could not answer. We got to know the nature and animals of the rainforest better. The accommodations were accordingly good. You have to be clear that you are in the rainforest. Nevertheless, the accommodation offers electricity and Wi-Fi. We also had a chef with us who prepared each meal separately. As a 6'2" man, you have a bit of a tight spot in some of the means of transport. But phenomenon generally occurs more frequently in the country. It should also be mentioned that you should be physically fit when booking this tour, because the trails are not for everyone. However, it should be mentioned here that the paths are worthwhile!!

Unexpected delightful surprise - Jose, our Amazon 4day adventure guide was extraordinary. Knowledgeable in the environment, trails and animals. 4days full of non-stop adventures with a few surprises. The food ‘muy rico’! Every meal different and typical to Peru and our CHEF was considerate to each and every person’s special diets. Time and money will spend on this adventure.
I would like to take time to thank Jose for the extra care and time he personally spent to help my niece recover from a bad case of congestion. Went out of his way to get her the necessary medication and have her up and ready to continue to enjoy our adventure. Thank you Jose!

Great Amazon experience with good food! - We really enjoyed our tour of the Amazon. Despite the bad weather (in the dry season) our tour guide has made it an unforgettable experience. José (our tour guide) knew a lot about the Amazon and life in it. He could also tell this in a very interesting way. The group was also very friendly and everything was well arranged. The food was also above expectations!
