Amazon birding Manu, Peru birding tour explores a classic South American birdwatching venue. This exciting tour is both a real adventure and an extraordinary birding experience (producing a huge bird list). As we travel through Peru´s amazing Manu wilderness from the High Andes right down to the lowland rainforests.
A visit to the Manu, which extends from the High Andes to the Amazonian lowlands, is one of the world´s great birding 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, within the boundaries of a single protected area!
Manu is one of the wildest and remotest places on earth, it still holds noncontact tribes, the Maschopiros, that have never been contacted by outsiders and a multitude of rainforest creatures that form an intricate ecological network, the secrets of which man is only just starting to reveal. Habitats range from steamy lowland rainforests to luxuriant subtropical forests, moss-draped cloudforests and contorted elfin woodland at the treeline, each sheltering an entirely different set of birds. For a long time this wilderness was virtually inaccessible, but new lodges now enable us to sample a broad array of life zones and elevations in some comfort. Even for those who have previously visited several corners of the vast Amazon basin, this adventurous tour offers a treasure trove of new and exciting birds and mammals. We will begin in Cuzco, capital of the Incas, where a visit to a fine marshland area and nearby puna grassland will provide us with a sample of birds that have adapted to the rigours of living permanently at elevations of over 10,800ft (3000m).
We shall begin our exploration of Manu National Park proper in the pristine lowland rainforests surrounding Matsiguenka Camping Lodge, where each venture along the surrounding trails is sure to yield up a variety of new and exciting birds. Located in an area presumed to be one of the great Pleistocene forest refugia, these forests hold a number of little known and localized birds, including the tiny Amazonian Parrotlet and the exquisite Black-faced Cotinga. With the absence of hunting, large showy birds such as guans, macaws and toucans are still to be found easily and nowhere else in Amazonia does one have similar opportunities for viewing forest mammals.
Thirteen species of monkeys roam the forest canopy and playful groups of the endangered Giant Otter make their home in the quiet waters of oxbow lakes. Even the sight of an Ocelot or a Jaguar along the meandering Manu river is not unimaginable here in this incomparable lost world.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
