Manu National Park
The Amazon holds 10% of all bird species on Earth. Manu National Park is home to over 1,000 of them. From the Andean Condor at altitude to resplendent quetzals in the cloud forest and macaws at clay licks in the lowlands — this is birding at its absolute best.
View ToursWhy Manu?
The journey begins with the Andean Condor at Chonta Canyon and the shimmering hummingbirds of Wayqecha Cloud Forest Reserve. As the road descends, resplendent quetzals, toucans, and dozens of tanager species appear. Then comes the legendary Andean Cock-of-the-Rock lek — one of the most spectacular bird displays anywhere in the world.
In the lowland rainforest, specialist hides and camera positions at macaw clay licks, oxbow lake towers, and Blanquillo Lodge give photographers and birders unparalleled access to species that would otherwise require weeks in the field to encounter.
