Manu Wildlife Center

Manu, Peru


"...Manu Wildlife Center offered, hands down the most intense wildlife experience I've had in the Amazon....."

Conde Nast Traveler - December 2002

From Cusco this lodge is only 45 minutes by air plus 90 minutes by river. No other lodge in Manu offers all these major wildlife attractions in one spot:

  • The world's largest tapir lick.
  • The most photogenic large macaw lick.
  • Miles of monkey-rich trails through mature rain forest.
  • Two 120-foot-tall (35-m) canopy platforms.
  • Two mature lakes complete with Hoatzins and Giant Otters.

Manu Wildlife Center is located in a private, 16,190 ha./40,000-acre rain forest reserve adjacent to the one million-acre protected area named the “Amarakaeri Reserved Zone”. The tapir lick is a comfortable ninety minutes on foot from the lodge, while the macaw lick is a half-hour boat journey plus a short walk away.

Visitors will welcome the amenities and comfort of this lodge, the only one in the Manu lowlands with roomy, private bungalows, en suite private bathrooms and tiled, hot water showers -- especially if they are arriving from the rustic simplicity of Manu National Park. 

Here they can charge batteries, check their e-mail, wash their hair and order a drink under the high thatched roof of the grandly spacious all-wooden dining hall, bar and lounge. (Conservation note: the cedarwood used in construction was salvaged from uprooted trees washed downriver by the annual floods).

Lonely Planet

A two-hour boat ride southeast (right) of Boca Manu of the Rio Madre de Dios takes you to Manu Wildlife Center. Although the lodge is not in Manu Biosphere Reserve, it is recommended for its exceptional wildlife-watching and birding opportunities... There are 48 km of trails around the Manu Wildlife Center, where 10 species of monkeys, as well as other wildlife, can be seen. Two canopy platforms are a short walk away, and one is always available for guests wishing to view the top of the rainforest and look for birds that frequent the canopy. A 3 km walk through the forest brings you to a natural salt lick, where there is a raised platform with mosquito nets for viewing the nightly activities of the tapirs.... A short boat ride on the Madre de Dios brings visitors to a well-known salt lick that attracts various species of parrots and macaws.
