Manu Tour 4 days

We leave Cusco in the morning in our comfortable bus. We ascend to the high area of Paucartambo where we have breakfast. On the way we will visit the funeral towers or Chullpas of Ninamarca, we will pass by the highest point of our tour Acjanaco. Then we descend through the mysterious cloud forest, full of beautiful orchids, heliconias and primitive ferns. We stop to give you the opportunity to witness the cock of the rock (Rupicola peruviana) in the mating ritual. There are also chances to observe trogons (Trogon sp.) and many other bird species. If we are lucky we will find the only bear in South America, the spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus). During this descent we will have lunch on the side of the road, we will have different stops to observe animals, birds and plants. In the afternoon we arrive at our typical lodge with bathrooms and showers where we will spend the night. This will be the last night in which we will have electricity and internet, to charge and prepare our devices.

After our breakfast, we continue in our bus and we will make a hike where we can observe many birds. On the way we will also visit coca leaf plantations. Then we arrive at the port of Atalaya, where we board our boat for about 40 minutes to our lodge. During the afternoon we will have a two hour walk in the jungle to observe the flora and fauna of the Manu National Park. In the evening we will have night walks to get to know the nocturnal wildlife. We will spend the night in our lodge with bathrooms and showers available.

After a typical Amazonian breakfast, we start a hike to see different types of animals. The region is home to peccaries, different species of monkeys, tapirs, anteaters and more. As we reach the wetlands, you will also get a close look at caimans and amphibians.
