We dream of becoming an ambassador of the Peruvian Amazon jungle
Our Commitment to the Environment
The tour operator prioritizes Amazon preservation, emphasizing eco-friendly practices in Manu National Park and Tambopata Reserve, focusing on recycling, education, litter clean-ups, reforestation, and climate change awareness.
We provide a real and unforgettable experience in the jungle.
Our Amazon tours use camping gear and hammocks for an immersive nature experience, featuring activities like bird watching, jungle walks, tree climbing, survival skills, and alligator searches, guided by well-equipped professionals.
Our commitment is to support native communities
Our plan supports Peruvian Amazon ethnic groups through social and economic projects, providing children with medical aid, school supplies, and Christmas gifts. Employing locals in tours, we bolster the economy, aided by tourist purchases.
We have a Commitment to the Environment
Palotoa Amazon Travel, as a tour operator to the Manu National Park and the Tambopata National Reserve, feels a responsibility to keep the Peruvian Amazon clean for future generations. On each of our tours, we do everything possible to ensure we make the least impact possible. We explain and raise awareness among our travelers to be respectful of the environment. On each of our tours, we recycle and collect trash to take it back to Cusco for proper disposal.
Since hundreds of national and foreign travelers visit the Amazon every day, the local people traveling do not have awareness of keeping the route clean. They throw plastics, bottles, and all kinds of trash on the road.
That’s why Palotoa Amazon Travel organizes cleaning trips along the route from the entrance to the Manu National Park in December, which is the time of year that receives the fewest tourists.
Palotoa Amazon Travel teaches how to preserve the environment through reforestation and conservation works and talks on climate change awareness, as this last year we experienced a lot of heat, drought, and constant hurricanes in this part of the Peruvian Amazon.
We provide our visitors with a real and unforgettable experience, something authentic in the jungle.
We use camping equipment and hammocks on our tours to the Amazon so that our tourists feel close to nature.
On our tours we offer activities such as bird watching, walks deep in the jungle, night walks, tree climbing, survival lessons, searching for alligators and much more.
We make our tourists or clients feel safe and protected in each of our tours, because we work with professional guides specialized in the jungle. Our guides also have good work materials, as well as telescopes, binoculars and information books.
Our Commitment is to Support Native Communities
It is one of our plans to support the ethnic groups of the Peruvian Amazon, through a social and economic project, both by bringing support to children such as medicines, school supplies, donations and giving them joy and gifts at Christmas time.
In each of our tours we employ young people from native communities, as well as crew boat drivers and local guides. In this way we support the local economy, without the collaboration of our foreign clients it is more difficult to carry out this project.
That is why each tourist or visitor who buys our tourist packages to the Manu National Park and the Tambopata National Reserve is also collaborating with this beautiful project.
