What Do Manu Jungle Tours and Manu Rainforest Tours Include?
A trip to Manu is more than a transfer from Cusco to a lodge. The journey moves through changing landscapes before reaching forest and river areas where guided activities focus on nature and wildlife.
Depending on your selected itinerary, your Manu rainforest tours may include:
- Boat travel on jungle rivers
- Guided forest walks during the day
- Night walks for nocturnal wildlife
- Birdwatching and wildlife observation
- Macaw clay lick visits on selected routes
- Treehouse-style accommodation on selected programs
- Meals and local tour support where included in the itinerary
The Manu jungle is home to species such as giant otters, macaws, monkeys, caimans and many bird species. Jaguars are also recorded in the park, but wildlife sightings are natural and never guaranteed. SERNANP highlights giant otters, macaws, caimans and jaguars among the wildlife found in Manu.
For many travelers, the main appeal is the Manu rainforest Peru experience itself: walking through forest trails, travelling by boat, listening to jungle sounds and learning about wildlife from guides with local knowledge.
Our Manu jungle tours are suited to travelers who want an active rainforest trip, while longer programs provide more time for river travel, walking and wildlife observation.
