| Manu Wildlife Center |  | Manu the very word has become synonymous with the best rain forest in the world. The protected areas of the great Manu wilderness have become world famous because of their unspoiled rain forest and amazing wildlife. Manu protects more species of animals and plants than any other park on Earth.
The Manu National Park contains 1,000 species of birds, or one out of every nine on Earth, and 200 more than the U.S. and Canada combined. Approximately 550 bird species occur within a few square miles of lowland forest. Try a short visit to the spectacular lowland forest of Manu to see the world's best rain forest wildlife, including the world's most approachable, photographable macaw clay lick. Also featured are the biggest clay lick of South America's largest land animal--the 600-pound (250 kilo) Lowland Tapir, playful Giant Otters, Jaguars, and ten species of monkeys, including the amazing mustachioed Emperor Tamarin.
Manu Wildlife Center is located east of the Manu River on the north bank of Madre de Dios River. The Lodge contains fully screened private bungalows, separate complexes with hot showers and toilets, a large fully screened dining room and a bar with hammocks for relaxing. It has no electricity. |
