Just wanted to email to say that we had a fabulous time in Peru! Loved every minute of it! Very well organised and ran like clockwork, so thanks for making that happen. All our guides and drivers were great, especially Ronald at Crees. He know EVERYTHING and is so sweet. We loved out time in the rainforest and the MLC is such a beautiful place to stay.
“The quality of the lodge was comfortable, beautiful.. everything was great.. very nice and caring staff.. it was 5-star service.”
"Working with and living amongst an incredibly caring and knowledgeable group has been a joy. I feel I’ve learnt a vast amount, not just about the MLC, Peru or environmental issues in general but about myself as a person"
My husband and I traveled to Manu with Crees in November 2011. Crees made the trip easy and carefree. All of the logistics were well orchestrated. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgable. We loved our vacation. Manu, the trip down Manu road and the river, and the wildlife were amazing. We can't wait to go back some day and would definitely travel with Crees again!
The best place in South America for big cats! Wonderful set up and wonderful people , crees is fighting the good fight!
