MANU JUNGLE INN LODGE
4 Days/3 Nights Program
(DEPARTURE EVERY MONDAY OF THE YEAR)


1st Day

Rising at dawn, our representative will pick up the passengers up from the hotel in Cusco to transfer them to the airport to board their 35 minutes flight to Boca Manu. Next, we will board a boat for a 90 minutes journey down the Madre de Dios river to Manu jungle Inn where a great lunch will be awaiting for us.

Then, we will explore some of the forest trails that surround the lodge. After dinner at any moment we have the chance to see some of the 12 species of monkeys like the Saki monkey and the Emperor Tamarin. After dinner we prepare to visit the Tapir clay lick. It is located one hour away from the lodge. There, from our specially prepared platform above the clay lick, we can observe all these creatures that come to eat clay.

2nd Day

We wake up before dawn to go to the only accessible Macaw and Parrot clay lick in the Manu area. This journey takes 25 minutes.

From a floating hiding place, we can appreciate and take some pictures of hundreds of medium-large parrots, and the large blazing red - green Macaws that arrive to eat in the clay lick. During May, June and July there are less activity than in August and September.

In the afternoon, we will visit the two oxbow lakes located in the area.

3rd Day

Rising at dawn, we explore the forest trails with the emphasis of visiting the fruiting trees. The native guides and our biologists will be there to help us. You will see in this area more monkey species as well as many birds. It is also possible to visit one of the lakes before exploring forest trails.

After lunch we explore other forest trail trying to find more birds species and mammals. After dinner you have the option to visit the Tapir clay lick again.
