"...Manu Wildlife Center offered, hands down the most intense wildlife experience I've had in the Amazon....."
Conde Nast Traveler - December 2002

The Amazon rain forest is the largest tropical forest on Earth, covering about 2.7 million square miles (seven million square kilometers) or 90% the size of the 48 lower states of the U.S. Though the Peruvian Amazon is only 10% of this total, it represents the wildest, most wildlife-packed rain forest in the world. The density and diversity of Amazonian animal and plant species reach global maxima in the extreme western Amazon, near the foot of the Andes , precisely the location of the Manu Wilderness.

Manu is the most biologically diverse region of the Amazon for terrestrial life. it provides unforgettable opportunities for a nature and birding experience.

Manu consists of the area surrounding the Manu Biosphere Reserve and extends eastward through the Manu Lowlands (Peru).

The list of flora and fauna includes 1,000 species of birds, more than 200 species of mammals, 13 species of monkey, a great variety of butterflies and 15,000 species of flowering plants.

The Manu Biosphere Reserve is composed of two parts: Manu National Park, and the Cultural Zone. The 3.7 million-acre Manu National Park was formed in 1973.

Neither tourism nor tourist lodges are allowed in the park itself. In 1980 the area to the east of the park was designated as a Reserve Zone, reserved for tourist and commercial activities.
