Tour Programs Manu Wildlife Center
From Cusco this lodge is only 45 minutes by air plus 90 minutes by river. No other lodge in Manu offers all these major wildlife attractions in one spot:
-
The world's largest Tapir lick.
-
The most photogenic and accessible large macaw and parrot lick.
-
Miles of monkey-rich trails through mature rain forest.
-
Two 120-foot-tall (35-m) canopy platforms.
-
Two mature lakes with abundant Hoatzins, caimans and Giant Otters.
Manu Wildlife Center is located in a private, 16,190 ha./40,000-acre rain forest reserve adjacent to the one million-acre protected area named the “Amarakaeri Reserved Zone”. The tapir lick is a comfortable ninety minutes on foot from the lodge, while the macaw lick is a half-hour boat journey plus a short walk away.
Visitors will welcome the amenities and comfort of this lodge, the only one in the Manu lowlands with roomy, private bungalows, en suite private bathrooms and tiled, hot water showers -- especially if they are arriving from the rustic simplicity of Manu National Park.
Here they can charge batteries, check their e-mail, wash their hair and order a drink under the high thatched roof of the grandly spacious all-wooden dining hall, bar and lounge. (Conservation note: the cedarwood used in construction was salvaged from uprooted trees washed downriver by the annual floods).
