In the afternoon, we go to visit Machuwasi Lake to check out a sail in “remos” (hollowed tree trunks used by natives of the area).

Manu National Park

The Manu National Park is a jungle reserve with an area of ​​1.8 million hectares. It is the largest national park in all of Peru, and definitely one of the best places in South America to observe a wide variety of jungle wildlife. Many biologists believe that Manu has the greatest biodiversity of all the jungle reserves in the world, encompassing an area from the eastern slopes of the Andes to the low jungle, thus converging a wide range of jungle and low jungle. The Manu, located between the Andes and reaching the Brazilian jungle to the Atlantic, has been virtually untouched by the logging industry and is one of the most incredible virgin forests on the planet. This fact, together with the impressive variety of birds, are two of the main attractions of this national park. In all, more than 15,000 plant species have been recorded in this exciting region, and nearly 250 varieties of trees have been found in a single hectare of this rich reserve.
