DAY 1 In the morning, you will have a transfer from your hotel to the airport to take the plane to Boca Manu (30 min). At 9:00 amwe will meet in Boca Manu with the group that came by land and river.
Continuing on with our adventure, we will now go to one of the main areas of the Manu National Park, the Tourist Zone. For the next 5 to 6 hours, depending on the level of the water in the Manu River, we will sail down the robust river in our river boat. Because of the lack of civilization in this part of the jungle it will make all that much easier for us to take notice of the rich wildlife to be found here. Animals such as Capybaras, Caymans, monkeys and with a little bit of luck, maybe we will be able to see the great, South American feline, the Jaguar, which may just resting in the sun some place along the river.
We will then arrive to our private area in the jungle, the Capybara SAS Tented Platforms, where we will spend the 3 following nights. If there is sufficient time, we will take a trail nearby the camp site, all the while with our guide feeding us information about the complicated amazonian forest.
DAY 2 We will begin this day with an early morning visit to one of the largest tourist pulls in all of Manu National Park, the stunning Lake Salvador, which is the natural habitat for any countless number of local species. This is the jungle at its best, boasting such animals as the Black Cayman and the Giant River Otters, both of which are endangered and at risk of extinction. This is one of the only areas in the entire world where we may see one, not in captivity, but instead in its natural home.
During the evening, we will continue on to yet another lake, this one equipped with giant towers alongside used for viewing the immense lake from a birds-eye-view. This will be a fantastic vantage point from which to soak up the amazing views of Lake Otorongo. Then it is back to the Capybara SAS Tented Platforms for dinner and sleep.
DAY 3 Today very early, we will head of to visit the Pakitza, which is known as one of the first Biological Stations created for the scientific studies being conducted in Manu. Aguila Arpia which means “Matchiguenga expression”, is an as of yet, still unknown and unvisited palace that will one day be a highly sought after tourist site. We will take you in and around its amazingly complex trail system as the forest exposes more and more of its natural beauty for us behind every bend. Maybe we will even have a chance to see a group of Tamarine Monkeys, which are the smallest monkeys in the entire world. Be aware of surroundings, because they could sneak up right behind you!!
Later on, in the night, we will visit another system of trails with a completely different set of characteristics than the first. Our guide will explain to us why and show us native plants from the area that can be used as traditional medicines. Back to the camp ground. Capybara SAS Tented Platforms
DAY 4 Very early in the morning we leave Lake Salvador to continue our adventure traveling down the Manu river to reach Boca Manu (approx 4 hrs) On this day it is still possible to find the famous Jaguar as we search along the beaches to find them perhaps resting placidly after their lunch. At Boca Manu part of the group may take the flight back to Cusco around noon. Fly to Cusco and transfer to your Hotel.
