Exploring Manu National Park via its trails and rivers is like discovering the origin of life, and this protected natural area attracts scientists and researchers from all over the world. 

 

Here, waking at dawn means being witness to the riot of colors and sounds unleashed by  the forest as it celebrates a new day, a forest where the incomparable beauty of orchids offers bright colors amid the greenery. No visitor should miss the macaw clay licks, where these birds gather and display their intense colors and raucous calls. And at night a boat ride is the best way to spot caimans, frogs and –if you’re lucky- a jaguar hunting for food. 

 

In Manu, every second brings astonishing life forms in an infinite variety.
