Your Manu Expedition starts during the early hours of the day, as we will collect you from your accommodation at Cusco. Using a private vehicle, you will go through a journey shifting from the Andean pastures to the Amazon, where you will see tall Andean mountains while driving.
Let’s begin our tour with a stop in Paucartambo. This folkloric town of the Andes, which rests at an altitude of 2906 meters (9534 ft), is one of the most breathtaking places in Peru. As we enjoy a traditional breakfast, our tour guide will explain the local culture and customs.
After Paucartambo, we will drive to the remarkable viewpoint of Tres Cruces or Acjano Pass. It is situated to the west of the Manu Rainforest at its highest elevation of 3900m (12795ft). The pass is unmatched for its wonderful view of the Amazon basin.
Next, we will go down to the Manu Cloud Forest, where, on this tour, you will have the chance to explore the unique orchid farms and many different forms of wildlife and flora. Make sure you keep an eye out for the Andean cotinga, one of the most stunning birds in the world, alongside cappuccino and woolly monkeys.
Once we have enjoyed lunch, we will take you to Atalaya Port, where a motorboat will be waiting to take us along the Madre de Dios River to Machuwasi Lake. Get ready to spot giant otters and armadillos!
On our way to the Manu Rainforest Tour, which is located two hours into the astonishing Peruvian Amazon, we will take a break at the lake before continuing the boat ride.
When we arrive at the lodge and check you in, we will serve you a native dinner from the Amazonian region. If you are interested, we can go on a quick nocturnal hike to try to find some nighttime wildlife.
On day two of your Manu expedition, begin with a regular breakfast from the Amazon region. Then, we will check out of the lodge at Manu Rainforest. Subsequently, we will ride in our motorboat on the Madre de Dios River. Soon, we will change course and head to the Palotoa River direction.
This boat trip offers the chance to see many remarkable animals from diverse species, such as reptiles, large armadillos, and many others from this area.
We will then proceed to navigate out of the Palotoa River into the Rio Negro where we will set up a trap on the bank of the rivers. After eating lunch, get ready for an advanced trek through the deep jungle, as this will give us an even closer view of the distinctive wildlife in the Amazon.
On the second day of Manu Rainforest Tour, we will return to the riverside campsite after sunset. The dinner served will be native to the place, and while we serve it, a campfire will crackle to life. As evening descends, the flavour of the Amazon will be served to taste within the dinner.
Let’s begin today with a full breakfast. After this, we’ll proceed on a short boat ride on the Manu River, followed by the Palotoa River. During this, we will be running a peke peke, which is named after the noise produced by its engine while cruising.
The journey headed towards the Manu Jungle, and the Treehouse Inn was accessible only to guests. During the time spent there, the house left a deep dressing within the Manu Jungle, so it was sometimes considered a family holiday destination.
The boat ride from Manu Rainforest Lodge to Treehouse Inn offers breathtaking views of the cloud forest. Look out for mammals and rodents, such as capybaras.
When we arrive at Treehouse Inn, you will receive a warm greeting from the staff. After check-in, we will go on a guided adventure through the nearby areas. Along the way, you just might spot some giant trees and multi-coloured birds.
The tour guide will also share with you the native medicinal plants. Local folks rely on these plants to cure a number of issues.
After the hike, you will head back to the lodge for lunch. After lunch, get ready for an extended hike into the deep Manu Jungle, where you might get the chance to see some gorgeous native birds, such as the colourful macaw, parrots, and even hummingbirds and woodpeckers.
As it begins to get dark, we head back to the lodge for dinner. After dinner, we will go for a short walk to observe the nocturnal wildlife. There are many, like the howler monkey, Kalinoski rat, pygmy owl, tarantula, spider, coral snake, and many more. Don’t forget to grab your flashlight.
The rest of your night will be spent at the Treehouse Inn, located in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. After the night tour, you will be well-rested.
Mark your fourth day on your calendar and set the alarm clock a bit earlier than usual. This day starts with a venture out to the Parrot Clay Lick. This site is considered one of the “wonders” of Manu National Park, where hundreds of beautiful coloured parrots gather to indulge in some clay.
The clay consists of different minerals that are fruitful for detoxifying the parrots’ bodies. You will have front-row seats to witness this mesmerising spectacle, and once you are filled, we will head back to the Treehouse INN for breakfast.
After breakfast, we start a hike in the community. Here, you will see different types of medicinal plants. Our tour guide will explain the plant’s uses in detail during the tour.
Further into the jungle, you will spot Jaguars, Pumas, Anteaters, Sloths, and Tapirs. From a distance, the audience will see all of them in their natural habitats. We will return to the lodge by noon so that we can have lunch.
Evenings are free for individual preferences. For those interested, we can go river tubing in the lovely waters of the Palotoa River. After viewing the sunset in the Amazon, we will have dinner.
After dinner, we will again go on a nocturnal tour of the jungle. In the dark, you will find many unique creatures, so be prepared.
Ready to behold another unforgettable view? The fifth day starts with an appetising breakfast at the Treehouse INN. Then, it’s time to discover a nearby native community where you will delve into their age-old traditions.
These communities at Manu National Park have a unique way of life that one must really experience. Hunting with bows and arrows is at the centre of their existence, and skillfully utilising these weapons is an art form that you can try your hands at.
After this visit, we will head back to Treehouse INN for lunch. After lunch, we check out and take a boat drive to the Rainforest Lodge.
After settling at the lodge, we will have dinner. After dinner, we will begin a journey through this region of the Manu Rainforest. Look out for the exotic flora and fauna that reside in the Rainforest.
Finally, we will sleep in the cozy comfort of the Rainforest Lodge, fully immersed in the true jungle experience.
The sixth day begins with a hearty breakfast at Manu Rainforest Lodge. Next, we will glide down the river by boat back to Atalaya Port.
After lunch, we will take you back to the lively city of Cusco on private transport. But first, we will take a break in the beautiful city of Paucartambo, where we will enjoy lunch. We hope you enjoyed the Peruvian countryside because we are about to transition back into the city.
Now that we have fully comprehended the breathtaking Manu Rainforest Tour, it is time for us to set off from Paucartambo. We hope to arrive in Cusco by 6 PM so that you can relax for the remainder of the day.
The boat rides on the Palotoa River are fascinating. You can see the numerous animals, specially caimans, while traveling on boat.
