Secure flights between Cusco and Boca Manu

The Cessna Caravan has proven itself to be one of the most reliable, versatile, and cost-effective airplanes ever built. Almost 10 years of experience managing first class tours programs in Manu, InkaNatura Travel knows that Cessna is an excellent choice for safe air transportation between Cusco and Boca Manu, the air strip in Manu area.:

Cessna's top-of-the-line Caravan lives up to its grand name. Thanks to a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-114A engine and three-blade prop, it carries 100 cubic feet and 500 pounds more useful load than similar aircrafts.

See for yourself why, from Cusco to Manu, the Caravan is the preferred aircraft for transporting people interested to know about this pristine rainforest area.

Some Manu tour operators recommend traveling through Puerto Maldonado, but they do not mention that clients will spend more than 11 hours sitting in uncomfortable fast boats/buses and, in addition, this route does not have clean and decent bathrooms.
