There is no doubt that Manu is the superlative of biodiversity thanks to a great variety of habitats that includes Andean grasslands, elfin forest, cloud forest and jungle lowlands. Nature-lovers and wildlife enthusiasts can find more species of plants than any other part of the world. And when we talk about wildlife, we can count 13 species of monkeys (including the charm Emperor Tamarin), Giant armadillo, Giant anteater and endangered predators like the Jaguar, Giant Otter and the Black Caiman

Birdwatchers spend many days exploring different ecosystems to try to find and admire the 1000 species of birds that include the Harpy Eagle, the Cock-of-the-Rock, several species of tanagers, and also seven species of macaws that enjoy visiting an interesting macaw clay lick.

The park is inhabited by different native groups. The best known and the largest group is the Machiguenga.

By its exceptional combination of natural and cultural elements in 1987 Manu national park was honored as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

In this area InkaNatura Travel operates different natural history programs, some of them featuring Manu Wildlife Center, considered by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the top rainforest lodges in South America not only for its comfort, but also for the different wildlife attractions that include a lick where most nights visitors can observe the tapir, the largest mammal in the Neotropics.

Recently, InkaNatura has designed new programs that include accommodations in its comfortable tented camps located inside the Manu National Park, close to the famous Lakes Salvador and Otorongo.

In order to offer a reliable and secure air service, InkaNatura is pleased to have made an agreement with Pisco Airlines to offer flights between Cusco and Boca Manu.  We now guarantee departures, using a modern Cessna Gran Caravan (12 seats) with experienced and high quality trained pilots. This 2005 plane has the latest technology for safe air transportation. Some Manu tour operators recommend traveling through Puerto Maldonado, but they do not mention that clients will spend more than 11 hours sitting in uncomfortable fast boats/buses and, in addition, this route does not have clean and decent bathrooms.
