Day 1: Cusco - Cloud Forest - Pilcopata Lodge
Depart from Cusco in the morning and drive through the Andes mountains and rural communities. Visit the pre-Inca tombs of the Lupaca culture and stop in Paucartambo, a beautiful colonial city. Visit the city's museum and have lunch in the cloud forest.
Continue your descent through the cloud forest, a rich area with endemic species such as the spectacled bear and the cock of the rock, the national bird of Peru. See orchids, bromeliads, and ferns.
Observe the spectacular nature along the way until you reach Pilcopata Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 2: Pilcopata - Amazon Manu Lodge - Parrot Clay Lick - Zip Line - Machuwasi Lake - Night Walk
After breakfast, transfer to Atalaya and take a 40-minute boat ride to the Amazon Manu Lodge. Rest or swim in the river before lunch. After lunch, have the option to go zip-lining.
In the afternoon, visit Machuwasi Lake and explore by boat to see birds such as the hoatzin, a prehistoric bird, and with luck, other animals such as monkeys and capybaras.
Take a night walk through the forest to look for insects and amphibians. After the walk, have dinner and spend the night at the lodge.
Day 3: Amazon Manu Lodge - Atalaya - Cusco
Early in the morning, take a boat ride to the parrot clay lick, a wall along the riverbank where different species of parrots gather every morning. Watch as they eat the clay, which is rich in minerals and helps them digest and eliminate toxins from their bodies.
Return to the lodge for breakfast and take the boat back to Atalaya. Transfer to Cusco and stop for lunch along the way. Arrive in Cusco in the late afternoon.
