Best time of the year to travel?  

The road conditions are good during the dry season from May to December and can be reversed shape during the rainy season as some delays can occur along the route due to the high intense rains, the Manu Road it’s almost unpaved and curvy (along the cloud forest) the road quality determines the travel distance which another factor that you be mention by your tour operator.

How much is the elevation range along the road trip?

Acjanaco Pass is above 3400 m / Ninamarca pre-Inca ruins (just above Paucartambo) 3900 meters are the highest locations still in the Andes, the descent will be as low as 600 Meters (Guadalupe Lodge ) the road goes in a zig-zag while driving at the other side of the Andes,

How much is the elevation range along the road trip?

Not too far the distance from Cusco city to the Manu tropical area is around 210 km where most of the Manu rainforest lodges are settled as well as towns, and villages at this transect all the lodges are still outside of the Reserved Zone.

Want to lie in a hammock and not move until cocktail hour? We’ve got a trip for that. Want to power up the side of the mountain at a high altitude? We’ve also got a trip for that. To determine what type of trip suits you best, each of our trips comes with a Physical Rating to let you know how physically demanding it is… or isn’t. Find out more about ratings.

What safety measurements do you have?

Concerning the backup facilities, all our overnight places have internet WIFI  and cellphone coverage in some villages along with the Manu road and near Boca Manu village. mini-hospital is available Villa Salvacion and the remoteness of Boca Manu (medical post)

Tipically from December to April its the peak of the rainy season sometimes landslides may occurs along the road and expected delays may occurs, once it sadly happens it soon get assistance from the local goverment so bulldozers or other types of machinaries clear up the road.

The road shape in the cloud forest its dependent much of the weather conditions at the range of 3400 meters to the 1400 meters betweenn this transect the road passes by hilly mountains, currently there are only very few spots considerer vulnerables for landslides that the local drivers take care and drives prudently to go acroos,we must mention that some years the wet season appears to be normal , no bad news about the Manu access most of the time.

Mosquitos (Malaria , Leishmania, Botflies, dengue)

Prevention its the keyword , always wear long sleeved shirts and long trousers , Use insect repellent if mosquitoes are seen or heard (or always ) , sleep under the mosquito net provided . repellent on shirt and trousers is a good advice, Be aware of long term effects even month later.

What about the Malaria treatment? 

Though it only is a small risk, it is possible you get infected with malaria in Manu, and we recommend you take a prophylaxis when going on one of our tours.
The yellow fever situation is about the same. Moreover, yellow fever is almost always lethal therefore it is required that one receives the yellow fever vaccination at least ten days before entering Manu.

In the Water 
it mostly sounds a possible activity while staying outside of the Manu Reserved Zone, Safe if your guide says so , Small Caymans are not likely to attacks (a single case  of Black Caimans have been reported within Manu along the years) Piranhas are not a problem , don’t pee in the water while swimming , though , You seldom attract the small candiru fish and they might mistake your body openings for the gill openings of a big catfish.
Always makes your guides swim first to prove that it is really safe.

Anacondas
The 1997 movie ¨Anaconda¨ was blessing for the rainforest , it scared people , and it is people who threaten nature , the funny thing about this movie , is that it gives people what they already knows or what they already think they know , all preconceptions show up , obviously the film makers did not care about facts of the real world.

What is the best way to carry money?
A variety of sources are only possible while staying in large cities  such as Cusco  however  its recommended to get some Peruvian Soles before leaving city , there is not existing cash machines along the Manu National Park or the time you head into the Jungle so preferably takes some small bills for paying adittional services(public toilets , souveniers, cold drinks)

Scary if seen, but snakes are rare and there are about six fatal species in the region , coral snakes are not likely to attack , especially not because their fangs are not big enough for it (between your toes is the most likely the place , so don’t walk on sandals along the trails ) Bushmasters might be aggressive , they are territorial and nocturnal and will strike for the heat , just above boots , don’t lower your bumps in the bushes without checking them.
Radio – collared bushmasters have been reported to sleep within half a meter from a trail where tourist walked by without noticing the snake, so don’t walk off the trails without guidance.
Fer de lance snakes are more often seen, they love to check clearings and under buildings for rodents and amphibians, they are aggressive and easily attack if disturbed . Be aware , specially when walking around the buildings at night , always bring your flashlights , if you bitten , it is not likely the snake has injected all its venom , that would be silly , because it might take 2 weeks to the snake to produce new supply of venom and humans are not their prey , try to relax , don’t panic , don’t try to suck the venom out by yourself , don’t cut into the flesh ,these practices does not help much , you will be assisted by our guides that carries anti-venom as soon as possible or being evacuated to the local hospitals, in general keep your distance from snakes.
