The Manu Biosphere Reserve is one of the most pristine areas of rainforest in the Amazon and consists of the entire drainage basin of the Manu River. There are very few human settlements in the park, and there is no hunting or fishing. Tourism is strictly controlled and visitors are only allowed into the park if accompanied by a registered guide and with a registered tour operator. Tours must be organised in advance, and all of the agencies have offices in Cusco. It is also possible to organise tours from Lima or abroad, although all operators work with one of the ten official operators allowed into the park. It is possible to visit the Manu area without entering the reserved zone, and much good wildlife can still be seen. However, there is less control on human activity in the area outside the park.
This tour leads you to the most beautiful sceneries of the forest of the department of Cusco. It combines the adventure with a bike tour through these impressive sceneries and leads you to the lungs of the world, the National Park of Manu, where you can enjoy another adventure in a boat on the majestic Pillcopata River.
We will leave Cusco very early to visit the pre-Inca tombs of the Ninamarca and the colonial village Paucartambo, which is also known as the center of folklore of this region. The next stop is going to be at Acjanacu (3,530m), which is the entrance to the Biosphere of Manu and from here we will see the Amazon. Then we will descent through the different ecological layers, such as the Puna, the small forest and the cloud forest.
