MANU TOUR – RESERVED ZONE 6 DAYS

After breakfast, we’ll depart for Puerto de Atalaya, with stops to appreciate the flora and fauna and local plantations of coca, yucca, and tropical fruits. From Atalaya, we’ll navigate the Alto Madre de Dios River, with the possibility of spotting birds like parrots, oropendolas, and vultures, as well as mammals like monkeys and capybaras. When we arrive at the Limonal control post, park rangers will welcome us to Manu National Park. During the journey, we’ll navigate through dense jungle.

Along the route, we’ll visit Cocha Otorongo, where we’ll climb a 20-meter observation tower to appreciate wildlife and hear the sounds of the forest. In the afternoon, we’ll arrive at Casa Matsiguenka, where we’ll live with native families in bungalows (double rooms with private or shared bathrooms). Here we’ll have dinner and spend the night.

In the morning, we explore the lodge’s surroundings, with the possibility of observing tamarin monkeys, the smallest in the world. After lunch, we’ll navigate the Manu River toward Boca Manu, spotting black caimans and, with luck, the majestic jaguar resting on the beaches.

During the journey, we’ll make a stop at the Diamante Native Community, where we can contribute by purchasing crafts and local products. In the afternoon, we’ll take a walk along new trails and visit the tapir clay lick, a place where animals feed on clay. After this visit, we head to Dorado Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

In the afternoon, we’ll arrive back at Bambu Lodge, where we’ll spend the last night.

After breakfast, we’ll begin our return to Cusco. During the journey, we’ll cross the cloud forest once again, with strategic stops to observe birds, take landscape photographs, and have lunch. We’ll arrive in Cusco in the afternoon.
