| the world’s
premier rainforest destination.
Discover the wonders of this with . The great
Manu Wilderness, with its enormous and other large conservation units, stands
head and shoulders above all rainforest destinations
on Earth. This amazing natural treasure features the
world’s finest birdwatching road, which drops
down from the high Andes through lush, orchid-festooned
cloud forest, where visitors marvel at the world’s
only completely tame Andean Cocks-of-the-Rock at the
world’s largest known display ground.
The lowland rainforests of Manu offer more wildlife
and nature in less time than any other location on Earth.
Among the features of Manu is the world’s most
visited large Macaw clay lick, 1,000 species of birds,
200 species of mammals, and tens of thousands of plant
species. One of the major highlights for wildlife lovers
are strange and beautiful, 600-pound Lowland Tapir,
which can be seen at close range on most nights eating
clay at the world’s largest known tapir lick (record:
19 tapirs in one night).
The lakes of the Manu lowlands protect the day-active
Giant Otter, and the forests are home to enormous Jaguars
and other species of wild cats. The 13 monkey species
of Manu include the photogenic, mustachioed Emperor
Tamarin.
Our Manu Wildlife Tented Camp is located inside the
Manu National park and near Cocha (Lake) Salvador, the
largest and most beautiful of the 13 oxbow lakes of
the Manu River.
