Manu:
Manu National Park, in the Amazon rainforest of Peru, was established in 1977 and in recognition of its uniqueness it was included in UNESCO´s "World Heritage Site" list ten years later. Manu is internationally acclaimed as one of the most diverse areas on Earth. Access to Manu is by road or by air from Cusco, Peru.
Approximately half the area of Switzerland, the Manu Biosphere is a complete ecosystem with protected watershed embracing Andean mountain cloud forest, tropical lowland forest and the upper Madre de Dios and Manu river systems. The biosphere itself is subdivided into national park and two adjacent zones, one for tourism and the other for cultural subsistence. It is home to to over 1000 species of birds, 15,000 species of plants, to over 200 species of mammals, and untold numbers of insects, and within its virgin forest remain yet un-contacted peoples.
The journey into the Park itself is amazingly spectacular and not to be missed. Access to Manu is normally by road from Cusco, Peru. The two day trip from Cusco to the entrance of the Manu Reserved Zone carries you to over the Peruvian Andes mountains to an elevation of 4,000m, passed pre-Inca ruins and down through the cloud forest on the eastern side of the Andes, and finally into lush, lowland rainforest. Roads remain largely unpaved and wind their way precariously passed cascading waterfalls, deep gorges, and precipices. Manu is a truly complete experience.
