A visit to the Manu, which extends from the High Andes to the Amazonian lowlands, is one of the world’s great wildlife journeys! Situated at the periphery of the upper Amazon basin, the splendid Manu National Park boasts the planet’s richest biological heritage. Spanning the entire humid east slope of the Andes and including vast tracts of adjacent Amazonian lowlands, it holds the astonishing number of over 1000 bird species, or more than ten percent of the world’s avifauna, 200 mammal species-thirteen species of monkeys roam the forest canopy are still to be found easily, and nowhere else in Amazonia does one have similar opportunities for viewing forest mammals.
