You look for the Cock-of-the-Rock, Peru’s national bird, explore Machuwasi Lake by catamaran, watch hundreds of parrots at a clay lick at dawn and walk through primary rainforest. You spend 3 nights in jungle lodges with private rooms, private bathrooms and hot showers.

Pickup at your hotel is between 5:30 and 6:00 AM on Day 1, and you are back in Cusco between 6:30 and 7:00 PM on Day 4, after an 8 to 10-hour drive across the Andes.

Read the full Manu Tour 4 Days description
On Day 1 we visit the pre-Inca tombs of Ninamarca and the colonial town of Paucartambo, cross the Acjanaco Pass and descend through the cloud forest to Pilcopata. On Day 2 a boat takes us along the Alto Madre de Dios River to the Paititi Jungle Lodge, and we explore Machuwasi Lake by catamaran.
Day 3 is a full day in the jungle: the parrot clay lick at dawn, a walk in primary rainforest and Cocha Maravilla. On Day 4 we return to Cusco through the cloud forest and the Andes, completing a Manu jungle tour 4 days from Cusco and back, with no permits needed. Wildlife sightings can’t be guaranteed, as all animals live freely in their habitat.
