Incredible and Life Changing Adventure

A beautiful and safe journey into the amazon, guaranteed to change your perspective on the natural world and your place within it. Our guide Segundo's curiosity was contagious, and we feel so thankful to have shared our days with him! When my partner got ill, the staff and the guides came together to find solutions and medicines from the nearby town as well as the surrounding plants. Their willingness to adapt the trip around our wants and needs was inspiring. Could not recommend enough.

Amazing Guides & Great Way to Experience the Amazon

|

12-Nov-2021

I did 4D/3N as a solo traveller in Oct/Nov 2021. The overall experience was amazing and it was a great way to get a taste of the Amazon, definitely left me wanting more. My guide Cesar was the absolute highlight of my trip, he went out of the way to ensure I was constantly happy and looked after and his knowledge of the jungle was incredible. He was just a great guy and we became firm friends, and I always felt comfortable with him. It’s also mind-blowing how the guides can spot tiny monkeys or camouflaged iguanas from hundreds of metres away. The actual experience involves taking a two hour boat ride from Iquitos to the eco-lodge, which is quite secluded but not completely as the banks along the Amazon are fairly uniformly populated. There was a small community nearby and even heard music for Hallowe’en into the early hours of the morning. You are then based at the lodge but your guide will take you to different activities throughout the day, normally 3. For me this included jungle walks, sunrise watching, piranha finishing, canoeing, monkey island, an animal rescue centre (didn’t seem the most ethical), visiting a local community (was a bit awkward), and trying some weird foods in Iquitos at the end of my trip. You’ll have all your meals at the lodge which were the delicious and there’s a fair amount of time to chill out in the hammocks or in your private cabins which are basic but comfortable. Bring books or download movies as there’s no signal and power is only on 6pm-9pm to charge things, so a power bank too. Maniti is a great option but I think whichever lodge or tour operator you go with, you just need to go in with no expectations and you’ll be blown away. I didn’t get to see any pink dolphins or caimans but that’s just the luck of the draw. I still saw hundreds of dazzling birds and butterflies, lids of monkeys in the wild, iguanas, big Amazon squirrels, tarantulas and so on, and there were enough moments that blew me away, like watching a spectacular sunrise over the Amazon river. Thank you Maniti and mainly thank you Cesar!

Amazing trip with a great guide

I spent five days at the Eco-Lodge and it was an incredible experience. Segundo turned out to be an excellent guide with over 30 years of experience. Whenever he heard any animal sound, he could immediately tell you its name, the look and an anecdote about its behaviour. We spotted lots of different animals, we ate Macamo fruit and he even tried to attract a Jaguar by imitating their sounds (sadly we didn't see one as they are so rare). Especially if you're a bird lover, you'll have an amazing time with Segundo. He also taught us about the uses of many different plants for construction, medicine, making buttons etc. Nothing much goes to waste in the jungle. Overall I'm super happy that I took this trip. Highly recommended to get a taste of the Amazon jungle!

Amazing trip, sooo much fun

We booked the 4 day/3 night tour at the Maniti Lodge. Sooo amazing and the price was reasonable. They picked us up from our hotel and then we met our amazing tour guide Segundo. He was sooooo knowledgeable about local culture, flora and fauna. He even has a PHD and studied with Jaque Cousteau’s son. Such a funny, amazing, talented guide. The food was fresh, healthy, and amazing; all sourced with local ingredients bought from the surrounding communities. Maniti protects over 400 acres of land and works with local communities such as San Rafael of Fatima to bring business to their economies. The lodging was simple but perfect for what we needed, especially because we were always outside doing activities. We went swimming in the amazon, saw pink dolphins, went piranha fishing, did jungle walks during the day and night, got to meet some monkeys, camped out in the rainforest, took a paddle boat through a swamp with caimans, saw the stars, and we got to make some amazing friends. This was a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you Maniti for a great time!

Fantastic trip into the rainforest!

I just returned from a wonderful 3D/2N stay at Maniti Eco-Lodge. My guide Segundo was incredible. He knew absolutely everything about the jungle ecosystem, from the trees to the animals to the insects. He could identify each and every sound we heard on our jungle walks, and was able to follow them to find the source. In this way, we were able to see monkeys, all kinds of beautiful birds, and even a snake. He was excellent, full of great stories about Amazon culture and his experiences as a guide. I felt like a jungle expert by the end of my stay. The food was absolutely delicious - I'm not sure I've ever had better fish in my life. Each meal was different, and equally as good as the last. My cabin was a comfortable spot to sleep and spend time between activities. The shower was a good temperature and I had no problems with mosquitos. We got to meet some natives near camp, fish for piranha, and check out monkey island, all of which were a blast. I'd also recommend an ayahuasca ceremony at Maniti, which was a very positive experience. I was nervous beforehand, but Segundo and the shaman made me feel very comfortable, and ultimately I am very glad I partook.
