Day 1: Cusco - Pilcopata Lodge
We leave Cusco to the ancient pre-Inca cultures of Ninamarca and then head to Paucartambo, a picturesque Andean village where we have lunch and a short hike. We continue our journey to the viewpoint of Tres Cruces, and then descend to the village of Bosques Nublados, where we can observe the cock of the rock and other species of fauna such as monkeys and trogons. In the late afternoon, we arrive at Pilcopata Lodge, where we spend the night in comfortable facilities.
Day 2: Pilcopata Lodge - Atalaya - Manu Lodge
We start the day with a morning walk in the surroundings, observing birds and small monkeys. After breakfast, we head to Atalaya to board a boat and navigate the river for 20 minutes. We visit the Cocha Machuhuasi, a lagoon where we can see birds, capybaras and monkeys. In the afternoon, we arrive at Manu Lodge, have lunch and rest before exploring the jungle further on an afternoon hike. We end the day with a night walk to observe spiders, frogs and other nocturnal creatures, as well as climb an observation tower to see birds.
Day 3: Manu Lodge - Exploration of the jungle
This day is dedicated to exploring the trails near the lodge, where we can observe birds such as tanagers, macaws and hawks, as well as various species of monkeys. It is also possible to spot jaguars or pumas in their natural habitat. In the afternoon, we visit a nearby lake to observe caimans and other aquatic species. Weather permitting, we also visit the Parrot Clay Lick, a place where large groups of parrots and macaws are concentrated. We return to the lodge for a last wildlife observation at Cocha Machuhuasi.
Day 4: Manu Lodge - Cusco
The day starts early with a visit to the Parrot and Macaw Clay Lick, before returning to Atalaya by boat. From there, we take the bus back to Cusco, with a trip that takes between 4 and 7 hours, depending on road conditions.
