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.
Day 1 : DSICOVER THE JUNGLE
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.(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. (B,L,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 we will explore the forest trails with the
emphasis on visiting the fruiting trees that our experienced naturalist
guides have been monitoring. Here we will hope to encounter more monkey
species as well as numerous species of birds.
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 : BLANCO RIVER
In the early morning you will spend the morning visiting the nearby
blanco oxbow Lake. This lake has populations of a variety of aquatic
life and water birds, including the prehistoric-looking Hoatzin and a
family of giant otters.
After lunch at the Center your guide is available to further explore the
forest trails for more wildlife encounters. Alternatively time is
available to independently explore the forest trails.
After dinner there is an opportunity to see caiman and other nocturnal
life along the riverbank by boat. (B/L/D).
Day 5 : TRANSFER OUT
After a dawn breakfast you will 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)
