Cusco - Paucartambo - Pillcopata

Parque Nacional del Manu - The guide collected the group from the hotel around 5:30 a.m. Everyone boarded a comfortable minivan and embarked on the journey to the jungle. The first stop was at the chullpas of Ninamarca, ancient pre-Inca burial towers that offered a fascinating glimpse into history.

The journey continued to the picturesque town of Paucartambo, where a delightful local breakfast and the town’s charming atmosphere were enjoyed. From there, the group reached Acjanaco, the highest point on the route and the entrance to the Manu Biosphere Reserve.

As the descent into the cloud forest began, the landscape transformed into a lush, green paradise teeming with life. Several stops were made to observe birds, monkeys, and other wildlife, enhancing the experience. A highlight was spotting the Cock-of-the-rock, Peru’s national bird—truly a sight to behold!

The group arrived in Pillcopata in the afternoon, where they had dinner and stayed overnight in a comfortable lodge equipped with a private bathroom and mosquito nets. It was a perfect conclusion to an amazing first day.

Parque Nacional del Manu - Day 2 was a thrilling blend of adventure and wildlife. The day began early at the eco-lodge with a hearty breakfast, followed by a visit to a birdwatching spot—Manu is truly remarkable, with numerous species like hummingbirds and monkeys.

Afterwards, the group proceeded to Atalaya port, where they received boots and life jackets before boarding a traditional boat. Sailing along the Madre de Dios River was a beautiful experience, surrounded by the pristine Amazon environment. The group then arrived at another eco-lodge to relax and enjoy lunch.

In the afternoon, the group headed to Machuwasi Lake. After a brief boat ride and walk, they reached this tranquil location and went canoeing. It was a wonderful experience—birds, capybaras, and other wildlife were seen up close. A climb up a watchtower provided stunning views of the jungle.

At night, a jungle walk revealed caimans and nocturnal animals—an unforgettable experience. The day concluded with a delicious dinner and a well-deserved rest at the eco-lodge.

Parrots Clay Lick

Parque Nacional del Manu - Day 3 began very early with one of the most vibrant experiences in the Amazon. Around 5:00 a.m., the guide led the group to the parrot clay lick. After a 40-minute boat ride, they watched parrots and parakeets gather—an unforgettable natural spectacle, with the chance to see macaws as well.

Back at the eco-lodge, a delicious breakfast was enjoyed before embarking on a guided jungle walk. The group explored the forest, admired the impressive giant ceiba tree, learned about medicinal plants, and spotted wildlife along the way.

After returning to the lodge for a tasty lunch, there was time to relax before the afternoon adventure. A refreshing swim in the river and a beautiful sunset in the heart of the jungle were highlights.

The Manu National Park is a protected natural area. It is divided into the core zone, the reserved zone and the cultural zone. The latter is the one we visited in the four days. The Manu is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world and that is why it is one of the most appreciated regions. Here 223 species of mammals and 1005 of birds have been registered. It also holds the world record for diversity of amphibian (155) and reptile (132) species for a protected area.
