Manu Wildlife Centre
Manu offers a fantastic quantity and diversity of animals and plants, which few destinations in Peru or beyond can compete with.
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 Giant Otters, parrots and macaws at a riverbank clay lick, dancing Cock-of-the-Rock, many species of monkeys and Tapirs at a forest clay lick.
The Manu Wildlife Centre, offers fine viewing of this elusive animal, which elsewhere is harder to see even than the Jaguar, also a frequent sight in Manu.
From Cusco this lodge is only 35 minutes by air and 90 minutes by river.
No other lodge in Manu offers the following 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 Centre is located in a private, 40,000-acre rain forest reserve adjacent to the 1 million acre protected area named the “Amarakaeri Reserved Zone”. The Centre is the only lodge in the Manu lowlands with roomy, private bungalows, each of which has en suite private bathrooms complete with tiled, hot water showers.
