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.
