Verónica Araya Garcia2024-08-18Verificada Personal experience in the Manu< Our journey of 6 days and 5 nights to the reserved area of the Manu, began very early when we were picked up at the respective lodgings. We left in the direction of Paucartambo, going to the upper area of Cusco, where we were making stops to observe and photograph birds. We passed through several ecological floors until we reached the entrance of Manu Park, where we continued to marvel at the diversity of fauna and flora, particularly for me seeing and hearing so many birds had me very happy.Our Lincol Guide is an in-depth knowledge of the biodiversity of that area, attentive to all the details and queries about the various species and activities we would do on the tour. His knowledge of the Amazon is surprising and his willingness always 100 percent with each of us.The journey went from Cusco to the access to the Madre de Dios River in a very comfortable van by Daniel, an expert and careful driver who provided a lot of confidence.The accommodations and lodge we occupied during the crossing, were very comfortable and beautiful, set within gardens surrounded by lush vegetation adorned with many birds. Excellent!Later the trip continued by river, in a boat in charge of 2 locals who knew very well the conditions of the Madre de Dios River and then the Manu River, very comfortable and spacious from where we were able to make sightings of the fauna present in the area, always willing to stop if we asked to observe and photograph some species.Within this tour we also had the opportunity to meet Jaila, who was in charge of preparing delicious dishes with Peruvian seasoning and typical of the Amazon. He showed great efficiency and expertism since on more than one occasion it was his turn to cook on board the boat, successfully handling at all times providing us with his exquisite food.We did day and night walks, always guided by Lincol who gave us his deep knowledge of the place, fauna and flora.It was a wonderful experience, we had no inconvenience throughout the tour, the times and destinations were fully fulfilled as well as we had the opportunity to enjoy some surprises.My congratulations to Lincol, Jaila and Daniel, excellent team always ready to provide the best of each other.100% recommended!!

Every meal he prepared was delicious, even when he cooked them with great skill inside the vessel as we sailed along the river. His culinary talent was a real delight throughout the tour.On the other hand, Daniel's driving was impeccable.

With Lincol as our guide we came home with our memory cards full of wonderful photos. The Harpy eagle, many species of hummingbirds, colorful tanagers, Golden headed Quetzal, Caracara, monkeys, snakes, and many more. Lincol was very accommodating, making sure that our trip was a wonderful experience. Inkamazonia was one of the places that we visited. It's quite the special place! Also the food provided on our trip was so delicious. George S2024-03-21Verificada Outstanding birding and photography in Manu We recently visited Manu Road on a birding trip (our 4th time in Peru birding) and this was our first visit to Inkamazonia Hummingbird garden. On this trip we saw and incredible 51 species of hummingbirds from Cusco down to Pilcopata and over 350 species in 9 days, and one of the highlights of this trip was visiting the Inkamazonia hummingbird garden. What an incredible place this is, and my only regret is that we couldn't stay there for longer! Lincol and Jhaila maintain a number of feeders for hummingbirds, tanagers and a whole variety of other incredible species and they have a real treasure here that we will definitely visit again! In addition, Lincol is also an excellent birder and guide - we managed to see our bucket list Harpy Eagle in Manu NP with Lincol as our local guide, and it truly was special. If you are a photographer, there are fantastic opportunities to take photos of many species of hummingbirds and hermits, and many other fabulous species at their feeders and on the property, highly recommended if you are planning a trip to Manu! Andrea P2023-07-15Verificada Un paraíso para las aves Mi objetivo fue la fotografía de fauna, principalmente aves y la experiencia fue excelente, superando mis expectativas. El guía, Lincol, sabe mucho de aves y dónde encontrarlas. En el jardín de colibríes pude fotografiar gran cantidad de aves, es un lugar espectacular para ello. Muy agradecida de la experiencia vivida con el equipo de Inkamazonía 😊. Elsa Wackermann2023-07-13Verificada Una super experiencia en Manu ! Qué suerte tuve de irme con Lincoln, Jhaila, Manuel y Andrea a Manu! He vivido tantas cosas inolvidables en solo 3 días. Lincoln es una guía absolutamente impresionante, que se adapta a tus deseos y quiere que tengas la mejor estancia posible. Es un entusiasta de los pájaros, así que he aprendido tantas cosas passionnantes al respecto! Y gracias a los excelentes ojos de Manuel y Lincoln, pudimos observar pájaros de todos los tamaños y colores. Las comidas eran deliciosas, el hotel muy cómodo y muy bonito, y el jardín de Lincoln y Jhaila es simplemente maravilloso, observamos monos, colibríes de todos los colores, insectos, mariposas, un adorable tucán llamado Pancho que comió y jugó con nosotros, incluso fuimos a observar cóndores, arañas y ranas cercanas. Jhaila nos cocinó excelentes platos, también fue un placer conocerla porque era súper sonriente, acogedora y sabe mucho sobre los pájaros y los animales. Al principio de la estancia, Lincoln nos preguntó qué esperábamos de esta experiencia y qué nos gustaría ver y descubrir. Para mí se logró el objetivo: pude abrazar a los monos, ver tantos animales como sea posible y puntos de vista impressionante.. Manu es un lugar simplemente excepcional, quería quedarme allí meses y meses. Muchas gracias por esta gran experiencia. Gracias a Lincoln por enseñarme y mostrarme tantas cosas (y a Andrea también), y por este programa muy completo, gracias a Jhaila por su deliciosa comida y por su benevolencia, y muchas gracias a Manuel por conducir con suavidad, por su paciencia, su benevolencia y por notar constantemente animales o pájaros en los paisajes que nunca hubiéramos visto.
