Discover Manu. Experience the Extraordinary

I travelled alone in Peru for 3 weeks. For the last week I chose the 5 day and 4 night tour to Manu. I was put in a "group" with 2 others. That was fantastic. We, 3 people, had a guide, and a trainee for the hole tour. The guide, Silver, was amazing. It is seldom I trust a person, that I really dont Know. But is was very easy to trust, that Silver had it all under control. He showed that from the start. And I could relax.Besides that Silver is polite, serviceminded and on time. He is a great spotter of animals and his knowlegde is impressive. And he speaks a good English and is easy to understand.The tour itself was as I had hoped for. I saw the rainforest, both in rain and sun. I tried riverrafting, rappelling, ziplining and were in a hot spring.We had the logde for ourselves, 3 people ( And the staff). Fantastic. The lodge, Erika Lodge, is a simple lodge in a remote area without internet and telephone coverage. That was exately what I needed. I got to read a book for the first time in years. Great!The lodge could need an update in furniture in front of the house and in diningroom. This is not luxury. It is simple with showers and toilets in a seperate building. But it fits the hole experience.I was alone in the tour the last 24 hours. I thought it would be strange. But Silver made it to a great time.The only complain I had, was that I did not understand instructions given for ziplining and rappelling, as was given in spanish. Luckely one of the guys in the tour could translate and they showed how instead.I had a great time with activeties and still a relaxed tour. my recommendations.
