Peru Amazon Tours
The crees foundation has been working in Manu for over a decade as a conservation and sustainable development organisation and uses responsible ecotourism to support their work on the ground.
This in depth knowledge of the region makes their Peru Amazon tours totally unique. Led by conservation experts, these tours (including Peru birding tours) reveal the wildlife of one of the most biodiverse places on the planet but most importantly provide guests with a deeper understanding of the issues and threats that face this fragile part of the Amazon. Learn how they are working to resolve this through conservation, ecotourism, research and sustainable community initiatives. Meet the scientists in the field and see their work first hand as well as meeting the local community members struggling to live in harmony with their environment.
Their specialist wildlife Peru Amazon tours take you on a breath-taking journey through the whole of Manu, from their research station the Manu Learning Centre on the banks of the Madre de Dios river, right into the heart of the Manu National Park where there is the chance of seeing the elusive Jaguar or the Giant River Otter on one of the many oxbow lakes. This region of the Amazon boasts some of the most unusual and rare avian species, many endemic to Manu and visitors can experience one of the most incredible clay licks teeming with incredible birdlife.

All of the crees foundation tours have a central focus on conservation.
Run by the Crees Foundation, the tours are led by conservation experts running ongoing scientific research and community initiatives in Manu.
The scientific researchers monitor the species at two sites, one is the buffer zone of the reserve at the Manu Learning Centre and the other at Romero in the heart of the National Park. Results generate important knowledge about the value, and potential value of biodiversity, ecosystem services and socio-economic initiatives for local communities, businesses and the Peruvian government.
The knowledge generated by their research fuels the foundation’s Enterprise Programme that supports local community members to develop sustainable business models, achieving the creation of 10 new sustainable enterprises in 2015 through approximately USD$50,000 of micro-finance loans. This programme provides the capital, training and resources local entrepreneurs need to form and grow a sustainable business that transform local resources in a sustainable way.
It works one-to-one with local community members under the leadership of a local entrepreneur and sustainable visionary, Reynaldo Ochoa. He accompanies community members through all the early stages and struggles of building their business models. It engages in mirco-farming (biogardens), sustainable agroforestry, ecotourism and ecosystem service business models.
Crees foundation’s work with the Peruvian government helps build environmental education into formal curriculum at secondary school level. As well as this, provides an education outreach programme that takes local students out into the forest with biologists, tour guides and sustainability experts. They also work with local technical institutes in course development and practical training as well providing the wider civic society fun and engaging information about the value of biodiversity, its role in ecosystems and how it could be managed sustainably.
