Good things come in small packages, which is why we keep our group sizes down. This means we’re small enough to remain flexible as we thread our way through nature without scaring wildlife away. On most of our trips, you’ll be part of an intimate group of 2 – 6 people, though our group sizes are on average 8 people. Our Overland trips are in purpose-built vehicles that can carry up to 7 travelers. Group sizes are displayed on each trip’s overview page on our website.

It mostly sounds a possible activity while staying outside of the Manu Reserved Zone, Safe if your guide says so, Small Caymans are not likely to attacks (a single case of Black Caimans have been reported within Manu along the years) Piranhas are not a problem, don’t pee in the water while swimming, though, You seldom attract the small candiru fish and they might mistake your body openings for the gill openings of a big catfish.
Always makes your guides swim first to prove that it is really safe.

Scary if seen, but snakes are rare and there are about six fatal species in the region, coral snakes are not likely to attack, especially not because their fangs are not big enough for it (between your toes is the most likely the place, so don’t walk on sandals along the trails ) Bushmasters might be aggressive, they are territorial and nocturnal and will strike for the heat, just above boots, don’t lower your bumps in the bushes without checking them.
Radio – collared bushmasters have been reported to sleep within half a meter from a trail where tourists walked by without noticing the snake, so don’t walk off the trails without guidance.
