A visit to Manu's only accessible Macaw Clay Lick and to the world's
largest Tapir Clay Lick. Unlimited access to our new "stairway to the
stars" - a unique spiral staircase to a large observation platform in
the top of a huge kapok tree - and other new wildlife attractions
Manu Wildlife Center located east of the Manu River on the north bank of
the Madre de Dios River, and reached by a 35-minute light plane flight
from Cusco, offers the Amazon’s finest short, in-depth wildlife safari.
The Lodge contains 22 double-occupancy fully screened bungalows with
private bath (with hot shower), a large fully screened dining room, and
a bar with hammocks for relaxing.
Three fixed departure programs per week : Monday, Wednesday & Friday.
Day one
Early morning our representative will pick you up from your hotel to
transfer to Cusco airport.
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.
Day two
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 three
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 four
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. (B).
Please note that the program may vary slightly so as to maximize your
wildlife sightings, depending on the reports of our researchers and
experienced naturalist guides based at the lodge.

Machu Picchu and my entire visit to Peru were
wonderful. A dream come true.
I could not have been happier with everyone I met through your
arrangements.
The tours were very informative and showed me more than I knew
existed in this beautiful place.
All of the accommodations were very comfortable.
The luncheon buffet at the Alhambra was top rate. And the Ferré
Hotel in Lima was also a very good choice.Your personal assistance
throughout was exceptional!
Thank you for everything!

I was one of
the “Joel Williams” party of four who was recently on a Peru Gateway
Travel tour of northern and southern Peru. I had to write so you
would know how satisfied we were with the hotel accommodations, the
tour guides, the restaurants they choose for our lunches and just
everything about the trip.
The hotels we stayed in were well located, clean and convenient in
every way. We have absolutely no complaints!
Our tour covered Peru from the north to the south. It had four
internal flights, so there were many connections, pick ups and
deliveries involved. Peru Gateway Travel made sure we were always
delivered on time to the airports and promptly met and picked up
when we landed. We never had a moments worry.
Since we had many different day tours, we had several different
guides. All were professional and spoke our language well. All were
very knowledgeable and eager to impart that knowledge to us. They
chose great places for our lunches and the cuisine was
unforgettable. We have traveled to many countries but found the food
in Peru to be absolutely wonderful.
I also wanted to mention the drivers who picked us up at all times
of the day and night, drove us to our next destination and the
delivered us safely to our hotels. We never had a driver who was
less than prompt, courteous and most importantly, a skilled and
careful driver.
The sites we saw were the places we chose to see. And they did not
disappoint us. From the desert to the Andes to the Jungle, we
enjoyed it all.
Please feel free to use this email on your website or as a
testimonial. All four of our group would recommend Peru Gateway
Travel to anyone planning a trip to Peru. We were well taken care
of, enjoyed delicious food, saw awesome sights and had a wonderful
time.
Sincerely.

I am now back
home but still not believed that the holiday is over. I just
write you to tell you that I had a wonderful time in Peru and to
thanks for
your support. The circuit was very well designed and I had the
opportunity
to visit all the important sites I envisaged and also the Sacred
Valley and
the Altiplano.
I was really impressed by the organization and your people, always
in time
for pick up and interested to offer the necessary information.
Finally I showed to my friends that Peru is not so far and a visit
there
could be a wonderful experience. For me was a dream come true.
Many thanks to you and to your team.

My 2 adult children and I recently returned from our
hike to Machu Picchu and I wanted to thank you for all your
assistance. Our trip was great. We very much enjoyed visiting your
beautiful country. I especially want to praise our guide, cook and
porters. They did a terrific job. The food was marvelous and after a
long hike it was definitely something to look forward to. The
porters were very kind and when I needed some assistance at the end
of the 3rd day one of the porters helped me a lot. Our guide was
great. He was very knowledgeable and fun to hike with and he seemed
to really love his job. Again, thanks so much for everything
