Manu, Peru Simply the best wildlife destination in the Amazon.

By far the richest, most extraordinary biological transect in the Peruvian Amazon, or the world, starts in Cusco and runs northeast by road and river to the great Manu Wilderness. Manu offers by far the greatest quantity and diversity of animals and plants in the world. No other destination in Peru or beyond can compare. Nowhere else can you enjoy a superbly intact transect of tropical habitats from Andean grasslands and cloud forests down to foothill and lowland forests

Manu boasts the highest bird, mammal, and plant diversity of any park on Earth, including 1,000 of the world's 9,700 bird species, 200 species of mammals, and 15,000 species of flowering plants. The most photogenic spectacles are frolicking Giant Otters, 1,000 parrots and macaws at a riverbank clay lick, dancing Cocks-of-the-Rock, habituated monkeys, and huge Lowland Tapirs at a forest clay lick.

One of our lodges, Manu Wildlife Center, currently offers the world's finest viewing of this elusive animal, which elsewhere is harder to see even than the Jaguar, which also is a frequent sight in Manu.

In terms of wildlife for your money, our Manu itineraries offer the greatest payoff of wildlife per dollar of any rain forest site in Peru and Latin America. Other New World rain forests may be somewhat less expensive than Manu, but NONE of them offer Manu's tremendous wildlife diversity. For travelers who want the finest rain forest experiences in the world, Manu offers the ultimate “bio-trip” from the Andes to the Amazon or programs to the Manu National Park, a world Heritage Site.a wolrd Heritage Site.

All Manu trips described here start and end in Cusco and include all air and ground transport, food, lodging, and guided rain forest outings.

SECURE AIR TRANSPORTATION BETWEEN CUSCO AND MANU, PERU

In order to offer a reliable and secure air service, InkaNatura travel is pleased to have made an agreement with Pisco Airlines to offer flights between Cusco and Boca Manu. We now guarantee our departures (including our new programs to Manu national Park), using a modern Cessna Gran Caravan (12 seats) with experienced and high quality trained pilots. This 2005 plane has the latest technology for safe air transportation.

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.
