Megadiversity
Tour - From the Andes to the Manu lowlands (17
days/16 nights)

Departure::
On request
From Cusco we descend the
famous Manu Road through elfin and cloud forest to the
Amazon lowlands. This route is known as the finest birding
road in the world as no other route offers 1,000 species
in so little time. In the lowlands we stay at the renowned
Manu Wildlife Center, which features the world’s
most visited macaw clay lick, a massive trail system,
and multiple canopy platforms.
