Manu Jungle Tour: 4-Day Adventure Expedition

Pick-up is from your hotel or any other location you specify in our private vehicle. We will visit the pre-Incan tombs of the Tiwanaku culture and picturesque high Andean communities.

We will stop in Paucartambo, a beautiful town known for its rich folklore and colonial architecture, and visit the interesting town museum. En route, we will have lunch in the cloud forest.

We will continue our descent through the cloud forest, an area rich in endemic species, such as the spectacled bear and the Andean cock-of-the-rock, Peru's national bird, which performs a unique courtship ritual.

We may also see orchids, bromeliads, ferns, and more. We will continue observing the spectacular nature throughout our journey until we reach the Pilcopata Lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

• Meals: Lunch, Dinner.
• Accommodation: Pilcopata Lodge.

In the morning, we will enjoy a delicious breakfast at the lodge and board our vehicle. We will head to our hummingbird garden where you can spot different species of hummingbirds and various fruit-eating birds, monkeys, and some mammals of the area.

The guide will explain the coca leaf plantations in Atalaya. Rubber boots will be provided, and we will take a 40-minute boat ride to observe the enormous diversity of bird species, such as herons, vultures, cormorants, etc., until we arrive back at the lodge.

Afterward, you can rest or swim in the river. After lunch, you'll also have the option of swimming in our natural pool. In the afternoon, we'll visit Lake Machuwasi, where we'll explore on local rafts to observe birds, such as the hoatzin (a prehistoric bird), caimans, and capybaras, among other animals like monkeys and toucans.

Then we'll take a night hike through the forest to look for insects and amphibians. After the night hike, we'll have dinner and spend the night.

Very early in the morning, we'll board our boat and head to the macaw clay lick, a wall along the riverbank where different species of parrots, such as the blue-headed parrot, the white-eyed parakeet, and the chestnut-fronted macaw, among others, gather every morning.

Here they eat clay, which is rich in minerals and helps them digest and eliminate toxins from their bodies. Afterward, we will return to our lodge for a delicious breakfast.

After breakfast, we will take a 2-3 to 5 hour hike through the forest. We will return to the lodge for lunch and then relax in the lodge or bathe in the river. After lunch, you will also have the option to go zip-lining.
