Day 1: EXPLORE THE JUNGLE Early morning our representative will pick you up from your hotel to transfer to Cusco airport. The trail to the floor of the forested Pacaymayo valley, where we make cam A thirty-five minute flight in a radar-equipped twin engine plane takes you to Boca Manu. Here you take a motorized canoe for the 90 minutes journey down the Madre de Dios River to Manu Wildlife Center to arrive for lunch. The afternoon will be spent exploring some of the 30 miles of clean forest trails that surround the lodge. On these trails you have an excellent chance to encounter some of the 12 species of monkeys, which include the Monk Saki and Emperor Tamarin, which inhabit the surrounding forest. After dinner you will have a short night excursion to explore nocturnal life in the rainforest. (L,D) Day 2: MACAW CLAY LICK Rising before dawn, we take a 25 minutes boat journey downstream to the only large parrot and macaw clay lick in the Manu area. From a floating catamaran blind we are afforded excellent views and photo opportunities of hundreds of medium-sized and large parrots arriving first at the lick, followed by the large Red-and-Green Macaws arriving to eat the clay. Please note that the clay lick is not as active in May, June and July. After lunch at the Center we continue to explore the miles of forest trails surrounding the lodge, and spend the late afternoon up a 34 meter canopy platform. Here we watch the last frantic activity in the rainforest canopy before night settles. We return for dinner back at the center and then leisurely hike for 60-75 minutes through the night forest to the Amazon's largest known Tapir clay lick. We climb up a 17 foot by 17 foot observation platform perched 17 feet above the lick itself where we wait for the lumbering Tapirs to arrive, then using powerful flashlights we observe and photograph them in action. (L,B,D) Day 3: WILDLIFE Rising at dawn you will board the motor-canoe to visit the Camungo Oxbow Lake. In addition to touring the lake by catamaran to look for the resident family of giant otters and other lakeside fauna, we will explore the forest trail and visit the 40 meter high canopy platform. This canopy platform provides a beautiful view of the camungo lake as well as the forest canopy. And on very clear days it is possible to look over the rainforest to the andes. After lunch at the Center the guide is available to further explore the forest trails for more wildlife encounters. Alternatively time is available to independently explore the forest trails. After supper, those explorers still with enough energy will have a chance for a final visit to the Tapir clay lick. (B,L,D) Day 4: TRANSFER OUT Rising at dawn you board the motor-canoe for the two hours return trip to the Manu landing strip, from which you fly to Cusco, where your jungle adventure ends. Arrival, reception and transfer to the your hotel.
