Tahuamanu Vacations from $1,164

The property itself is very well built we were surprised we had no issues with bugs inside the room! The view from our room was great also. This was our first time in PM so we didn’t know what to expect, but thought there would be more things to do there for what we paid. We also thought there would be some wild life around! We didn’t see much of anything besides some birds! Luckily there is a wild life sanctuary 5 minute walk from the lodge that allows visual tours of their monkeys for $80 soles. Expect lots of deep mud everywhere! We were there in April which is their dry season but it did rain some every day. The tours “included” with the lodge were sub par and we could have done without. Best day we had was some piranha fishing that we paid extra for and someone came and picked us up 👌 Food was also very bland and not great, they have a set menu/surprise menu each day for the meals and they ring a bell when that food is ready. We found ourselves hungry during the day waiting for that bell 😂, they do have a separate food menu you could pay extra for but was pricey and the town was a good distance away to go get your own snacks/food. Overall it was a relaxing experience as it forces you to slow down… was okay for the end of our very busy Perú trip! Hope this review helps!

True jungle experience. Brought in on long covered top boat, must walk on mud steps to get from boat to real steps. Cabins are rustic with screen windows. Bed covered in mosquito netting. Cold showers. Power on 6-9 pm, which was fine bc you go to sleep early. Meals were quite good. Our guide, Marcello, provided by the lodge, was excellent. He saw a myriad of bugs and animals we never would have spotted. Marcello very knowledgeable, made our trip. He took us out on a boat for piranha fishing and a canoe ride another night for animal spotting and sunset views. We saw macaws, white caiman, toucan, otters, tarantula, howler monkeys, capybaras. Really great experience after the four day inka hike to Machu Picchu.

The guides for the tours were very knowledgeable. The food was great and plentiful. The people were kind and hospitable.
