Rank : 9.0 (average on 3 votes)

Coordinates : -12.216668, -71.761396 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : All the subjects present in the Amazon rainforest: Ara, Giant Otter, Jaguar, Formichiere, Capuccino Monkey, Spider Monkey, Tucani, many other species of birds, Tapiro, Black Caiman, White Caiman etc... The Manu N.P., it's the real Amazon. Animals are very difficult to spot along the course of the Manu River... At the park in general the vote is 10 and praise, really a show... for sightings instead the vote is 5...really complicated and those little will remain of the pearls collected during your visit to the Manu N.P. The Park is among the first in the world as the best species conservation technique, and is probably the park with the most complex biosphere and with the most biodiversity on our planet. It stretches from the Andes to the rainforest.

Recommended equipment : The equipment needed are the many mm... professional and bright goals. I also recommend a wide-angle to photograph the immensity of the jungle during the many walking treks that you can do. I also advise not to undertake the visit to Manu with the urge of having to 'capture' the subjects... but rather to enjoy the still unspoiled wild jungle.

Best months : The dry season is a must. From June to September 8their winter). There are times of the year (December, January and February) where due to the rains many parts of the park are practically unattainable. Good temperatures (30 degrees by day, 10 degrees at night).

How to get there : You arrive from Cusco port direction of Atalaya (about 300 km and 9 hours of travel mostly in the dirt and complicated road), then you take the boat and you sail for another 8 hours to reach the reservada area, the most internal and wild of the park. You can stop even earlier, visiting the most 'touristy' and less reserved area... sightings don't change much, but the innermost area is definitely more charming. It seems to have reached an unexplored place. Alternative from Port Maldonado you go up the River Madre des God in the direction of the Manu River.

Visits : To enter the restricted area you must be accompanied by a guide, with payment and registration at the entrance,
