"...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 2.7million 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.
