Your week-long adventure into the Manu Reserved Zone commences with an early dawn collection from your accommodation in Cusco. From here, our private transportation will carry us across the Andean plains towards the lush Amazon, offering breathtaking vistas of lofty Andean summits on our journey.

We will make a short stop in Paucartambo, a traditional Andean town perched at an altitude of 2906 meters (9534 ft.). Here, we will partake in a local breakfast while our guide enlightens you about the area's rich customs and cultural heritage. The residents of Paucartambo have preserved their ancient practices and traditions, remaining largely unaffected by modern influences.

After absorbing the unique history of this captivating town, we continue our journey to an enchanting viewpoint, the Tres Cruces or Acjano Pass. Perched at the highest point of our journey from Cusco at 3900 meters (12795 ft.), this vantage point provides staggering panoramas of the sprawling Amazon basin below.

After soaking in the breathtaking views from the scenic overlook, we will descend into the mystical depths of the Manu Cloud Forest—a lush, mist-shrouded paradise bursting with biodiversity. Here, we will embark on a guided nature walk to discover a vibrant array of exotic plants, hidden wildlife, and stunning, wild orchid gardens. This pristine ecosystem is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. It offers a rare opportunity to witness Peru's iconic national bird, the brilliant Andean Cock-of-the-rock, performing its vibrant mating dance. Keep your eyes on the canopy, as this region is also home to curious Capuchin monkeys, rare Woolly monkeys, and an incredible variety of endemic bird species.

Tras disfrutar de un almuerzo tradicional con especialidades locales en el jardín de picaflores, nos trasladaremos al puerto de Atalaya. Allí comenzará nuestra aventura fluvial a bordo de una lancha motora, navegando por las dinámicas aguas del río Alto Madre de Dios. Más adelante, nos desviaremos hacia el río Palotoa, un afluente más estrecho donde cambiaremos a una embarcación de menor calado, diseñada especialmente para navegar por ríos poco profundos en el corazón de la selva. Tras dos horas de viaje rodeados de paisajes amazónicos e imponentes sonidos de la naturaleza, llegaremos a nuestro destino: el Amazon Treehouse Lodge, un refugio único ubicado en lo profundo de la Amazonía peruana.
