Pickup begins at 05:30 hrs from your hotel in Cusco. We travel through the Andes, visiting the ancient Ninamarca Chullpas before reaching Ajanaco at 3500 m / 11,483 ft, the gateway to Manu National Park.
We then descend through the spectacular Cloud Forest, home to orchids, giant ferns and abundant wildlife. If lucky, we may spot the famous Andean Cock-of-the-Rock. Arrival at our lodge in Pillcopata in the late afternoon.
After breakfast, enjoy an optional wildlife walk before traveling to Atalaya Port. From there, a boat ride takes us to our lodge in the Amazon rainforest.
In the afternoon we explore Machuwasi Lake on traditional rafts, searching for hoatzins, monkeys, reptiles, capybaras and many bird species. After dinner, an optional night walk reveals the fascinating nocturnal life of the jungle.
Early in the morning we visit a parrot clay lick, where colorful parrots gather to feed on mineral-rich clay. This is one of the most rewarding wildlife experiences of the tour.
