Tour Details

Land Transportation from Cusco to Manu

Manu Park in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest has regular access by overland transportation from Cusco City. For our guided tours we use comfortable vehicles such as the Mercedez Sprinter minivans for groups that exceed 3 participants. In effect, the Toyota Fortuner  SUV 4×4 will be arranged for couples or small groups of 3 participants.

The Overland Journey:

From the Andes to the Amazon Rainforest

This Journey offers incredible views of cascades, waterfalls, and stunning surrounding landscapes. As a result, encounter some of the best views and diverse environments.

Densely populated, the cloud forest is home to epiphytes, orchids, bromeliads, lichens, and more. The evidence of plant diversity here is so grand at these elevations.

Activities

The Wildlife in the Cloud Forest

The 4 day Amazon trip offers a great chance to observe the Wooly Monkeys that hang about the cloud forest. Looking up you will see and definitely hear the colorful birds; Quetzal, Mountain Toucans, and the unmistakable Cock of the Rock.

These brightly-colored birds are seen at certain spots, but not to worry. For the reason that our guides and drivers know these very well.

River Transportation

Certainly a memorable experience, we provide motorized canoe boats to travel down the river with experienced native drivers, (canoe type of 14 meters long – 2 meters wide).

The boat has a roof to prevent any sudden rain and sunshine. Life jackets are provided, and medical first aid kits.

We embark from the Atalaya Port & Town, to travel downstream for somewhat 2 hours. Reaching the vicinity of Machuwasy Lagoon at elevations below 500 meters above sea level.

Caves at Guadalupe Lodge.

We offer exclusive excursions to the caves/canyons at Guadalupe Lodge. The caves are only a 10-minute walk from Lodge. Originated by creek erosion, the canyon is a natural formation.

This area has cut into the mountain, and as a result has created an environment that harbors species that evolved in the darkness: bats, tailless whip scorpions.

Also, taking a walk during the nighttime would be an especially amazing opportunity to look for the: dwarf caimans and the Water Opossum, which is the only species of aquatic opossum in the Neotropical.

If you are afraid of being too close to these creatures at night time, this activity is optional. Advisable to wear water boots.

The Boat Trip – Full Day

Our Tour offers even more, including a most noteworthy day of boat navigation along the Madre de Dios river. A view of the evergreen rainforest adorned by colorful trees blooms on the slopes of the mountains or the foothill forests.

The Boat trip begins from the Atalaya River Port. A motorized canoe-like embarkation (12 meters long and 2 meters wide with a roof to prevent any sudden rain or sunshine).

These types of boats are the most ideal for fast-flowing rivers. Even relaxing a little, while just floating along the cascades. The chances are also high to observe aquatic birds along the shores, dwelling in the reeds, not to mention, the strange-looking capybaras.

Exploring the Machuwasy Oxbow Lake.

We arrange private transportation to the lake’s trailhead. Trails go along riverine forests densely populated by fig trees, bamboo, cecropias, and heliconias. While exploring these trails, look out for the squirrels and Dusky Titi monkeys.

Machuwasy is a small oxbow lake. It attracts a large number of Amazonian birds such as egrets, hoatzins, herons, kingfishers, rails, crakes, horned screamers, caciques, oropendolas, caymans, and capybaras

The lake sits on an elevation of around 500 meters, so this makes it the first oxbow lake along the Manu route and probably the most visited by tourists who travel into the Manu Cultural Zone.

Visitors of the lake sign in to enter the area, (and the cost is covered by the operator). One great experience here, which you don’t want to undoubtedly miss. Is boating on the lake itself, another mode of transport.

Above all, you will get the chance to choose one of the rafts! Made from trunks of balsa wood tree tied in line. The boats are moved by a long stick, so you’re in charge, good luck navigating. Take a seat and start moving. (There’s no roof on top so it is advisable to take a wide hat or cap).

Hoatzin Kingdom

The Hoatzin Kingdom is exactly what it says on the tin. These bizarre “Hoatzin” birds that you will see around this Kingdom can be seen in large flocks. Quite a tolerant animal, and for that reason, these birds can be observed at close range.

Even more, you can easily get clear and bright pictures of them while exploring this beautiful lagoon in Manu.
