Your 2-Day Manu Itinerary
Day 1: Cloud Forest & Rainforest
We pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at approximately 5:30 AM and begin our journey toward the Manu region.
As we travel from the Andes toward the Amazon, we pass through beautiful mountain landscapes and different ecological zones. Along the way, we make stops to enjoy the scenery and learn about the local environment.
One of the highlights of the day is the Manu Cloud Forest, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in Peru. Here we explore the forest while looking for wildlife such as the Andean Cock-of-the-rock, monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds, colorful butterflies, orchids, and other tropical species.
We continue descending toward the Amazon rainforest and have lunch along the route. In the afternoon, we arrive at our lodge surrounded by tropical forest. After settling into our rooms, we have time to relax and enjoy the sounds of the jungle.
After dinner, we take an optional night jungle walk with our guide. This is a great opportunity to discover the rainforest after dark and look for frogs, insects, spiders, geckos, and other nocturnal wildlife.

Day 2: Amazon Lake & Fishing–Jungle Walk
After an early breakfast, we continue exploring the Amazon rainforest and visit a beautiful Amazon lake. We navigate on a traditional wooden raft while looking for tropical birds, turtles, herons, kingfishers, monkeys, and other wildlife.
Depending on conditions, there is also an opportunity to experience traditional fishing in the lake. Afterwards, we take a guided jungle walk to discover tropical trees, medicinal plants, insects, and wildlife while learning about the fascinating Amazon ecosystem.
We then visit a hummingbird garden, an excellent place to observe and photograph different species of hummingbirds at close range. We also enjoy the scenery of a beautiful turquoise river surrounded by tropical vegetation.
We begin our return journey to Cusco, stopping for lunch in the cloud forest. Wildlife observation stops may be made along the way whenever conditions allow. We arrive in Cusco at approximately 6:00 PM and transfer you back to your hotel.
