Manu. It’s quite a sight. Among the world’s jungles, Manu stands out for its amazing diversity – a true showcase of Mother Nature’s wonders.

With Impactful Travel, we bring you unique tours to this remarkable place, combining the natural beauty with an equally wonderful aspect of Manu: its indigenous people. While other tourists stay in lodges, you’ll have the chance to live in basic but comfortable accommodations run by local villagers. They’ll introduce you to their forest in a way you won’t forget.
