habitat for epiphytic plants such as bromeliads. This varied
and fascinating world is home of the Cock of the Rock,
Spectacled Bear, Orchids, Tree Ferns (one of the oldest
living plants), mosses and lichens. This cloud forest exists
between 2000 and 3500 meters above sea level and at least

region. Overnight in our open air lodge "San Pedro".
Day 7: Cloud Forest – Pilocapata – Atalaya – Jungle
Lodges (B) (L) (D)
Today you will wake up very early to observe, from a
platform, the Cock of the Rock (Rupicola peruviana), Peru's
national bird. The male birds are a vibrant reddish orange,
and at about 5:00AM as many as several dozen come together
for an exhibition of a mating ritual dance in a place called
Lek. The males display their crest, showing off and
posturing for the females. The females, fewer in number,
watch to select the most suitable males. After breakfast
continue your overland transport down the narrow road
between waterfalls and canyons toward the town of Pilcopata*
and then to the Atalaya port. Here, your will board a
covered, outboard motor boat and head down the Alto Madre de
Dios River for approximately 15 minutes towards the private
reserve of "Erika" where you will hike through the
interesting trail system that this transitional area between
high and low jungle offers. Overnight in the selected Lodge.
Day 8: Jungle Lodge – Boca Manu – P.V Limonal. (B) (L)
(D)
After breakfast board your canoe for a three-hours ride down
the Alto Madre de Dios River to Boca Manu's airstrip.
(Optional flight from Cusco to Boca-Manu; this means that
some new members may join our group, the plane flies over
the Andes to a narrow gravel landing strip in the jungle,
the flight takes approximately 45 minutes). Boca Manu´s
village is situated a short distance from the confluence of
the Manu River with the Alto Madre de Dios River place where
you can buy your last fresh supplies and cold drinks before
setting off again in the canoe. Then, enter the Manu River
and the Reserved Zone, stopping in a white sand beach where
you will camp along the riverbank. Short walk around the
area.
Day 9: P.V Limonal – Salvador Lake. (B) (L) (D)
After registering in the official tourist logbook at Limonal,
the Park Rangers Headquarters and eating an early breakfast,
follow the Manu River until you arrive Salvador Lake, our
base safari campsite (screened dining room, bathrooms, radio
communication is available). This canoe ride gives the
opportunity to observe the immensity of the rainforest and
the diversity of birdlife, reptiles and mammals. You will
often see animals sunning themselves on beaches, or foraging
for food in the trees lining the riverbanks. Arrive early in
the afternoon and have lunch before setting off on a jungle
trail. You time will be spent looking for wildlife inside
the rainforest and on Salvador Oxbow Lake, until the sun
goes down and you return to the camp. Explore Salvador Lake
by paddling quietly along on a catamaran, giving you the
opportunity to observe unique species of birds, monkeys,
caimans and with luck the Giant Otter (Pteronura
brasiliensis). This endangered species can be seen swimming,
fishing, eating and playing.
Day 10: Salvador Lake – Otorongo – Salvador Lake. (B) (L)
(D)
Rise early in the morning, as the forest is awakened by the
Red Howler monkey (Aloatta seniculus) declaring its
territory. A morning walk before breakfast is a great way to
catch wildlife in the pursuit of food, as the temperature is
very pleasant at this time of day. After relaxing and
swimming in the river enjoy lunch along the riverbank, after
this, cross the river to walk an 8-km trail to another oxbow
lake called Otorongo. A strategically located observation
tower rises 15 meters above the lake and the jungle floor,
giving us more chances to observe wildlife including the
Giant Otter. Late in the afternoon you can use the catamaran
and with the help of flashlights observe the black caimans
rise from the depths of the lake and begin their search for
prey. Return to the campsite.
Day 11: Salvador Lake – Tambo Blanco. (B) (L) (D)
Once again wake up early to enjoy a brief morning walk and
have breakfast, then pack up camp and go down steem the
interesting Manu River. Arrive at Boca Manu midday, this
village is situated a short distance from the confluence of
the Manu and Alto Madre de Dios rivers. From here you will
descend the Madre de Dios River arriving early in the
afternoon after three hours ride to Blanco Private Reserve.
Camp at the safari campsite and spend one more night in this
magical Amazon jungle.
Day 12: Tambo Blanco – Macaws Clay Lick – Boca Manu. (B)
(L) (D)
After a very early wake up, use a special hide in the river
shore in front to the "Collpa" macaw lick to quietly observe
the various parrots feeding on the clay for mineral and salt
supplements to their diet of seeds and fruits. The brightly
colored macaws usually wait patiently in the surrounding
trees until the smaller parrot species have left the area.
Slowly, the macaws come down to the clay wall to feed. We
need a lot of patience and silence on the catamaran so as
not to disturb them as they eat the clay. Around mid morning
we board a canoe to return to the airstrip at Boca Manu,
where you will catch your plane back to Cusco.
Day 13: Boca Manu – Atalaya – Cusco. (B) (L)
Waking up very early, we continue the trip by boat to
Atalaya, where the bus will be waiting for us and drive back
up and out of Manu, arriving in Cusco very late in the night
