4 days from Cusco into Manu National Park: cloud forest culture stops, guided wildlife walks, boat rides, parrot clay licks, and night hikes.
“What is advertised here and what actually happened on the tour, didn’t quite match up. The drive there was way longer and steeper than anticipated, some 13 hours through steep mountains. Okay for those who can handle it, but terrible for those with a scare of hights. The first night in the lodge was nothing to brag about. The morning after we travelled to Manu, which was an improvement. The stop at the humming bird sanctuary was great! The boat ride there was fun, and we saw some interesting birds along the way. The trip from the Manu lodge into the lake was super rainy and exciting. All about the…”

“Taking the three-day tour to Manu National Park was one of the best decisions of my trip to Peru. From the very beginning, the organization was impeccable: the punctual pickup in Cusco, the comfortable and safe transportation, and the warmth with which our guide greeted us made all the difference. During these three days, we were able to explore the Manu cultural zone, a perfect gateway to the Amazon. The landscape is simply breathtaking: rushing rivers, endless forests, and a biodiversity that never ceases to amaze. We walked along trails surrounded by lush vegetation, listening to birdsong and the murmur of the jungle, and we were fortunate enough to observe…”
