Manu Tapir and Clay Licks


By far the richest, most extraordinary biological transect in the Peruvian Amazon – the great Manu Wilderness.

Manu offers by far the greatest quantity and diversity of animals and plants in the world and is right next to Cusco.

No other destination in Peru or beyond can compare with Manu. Nowhere else can you enjoy a superbly intact transect of tropical habitats, from Andean grasslands and cloud forests through to foothill and lowland forests.


Bio-diversity


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 the frolicking Giant Otters, the 1,000 parrots and macaws at a riverbank clay lick, the dancing Cocks-of-the-Rock, monkeys and the huge Lowland Tapirs.

For travellers who want the finest rain forest experiences in the world, Manu offers the ultimate “bio-trip” from the Andes to the Amazon.
