Manu National Park
Venture beyond the ordinary. The Manu Reserve Zone is one of the last truly untouched wilderness areas on Earth — home to jaguars, giant otters, and hundreds of macaws at the world's largest clay licks.
View ToursAbout the Destination
The Manu Reserve Zone (also known as the Restricted Zone) is the innermost and most protected area of Manu National Park. Accessible only by boat and only with authorized guides, this zone receives very few visitors each year — making every expedition a genuinely exclusive experience.
Within just a few days, travelers pass through three distinct ecosystems: the high Andean cloud forest, the subtropical transition forest, and the vast Amazonian lowland rainforest — one of the most species-rich environments ever recorded on Earth.
Here you'll encounter oxbow lakes teeming with giant otters, the famous Blanquillo macaw clay lick where hundreds of parrots gather at dawn, saline mineral licks visited nightly by tapirs and deer, and the ever-present possibility of spotting a wild jaguar on the riverbanks.
Choose Your Expedition
Three tiers of immersion — from a focused 6-day journey to the ultimate 8-day deep Amazon expedition. All departures are fully guided and all-inclusive.
The ideal introduction to Manu's Reserved Zone. Cloud forest, river navigation, mammal clay lick, Cocha Otorongo, Cocha Salvador, and giant otter watching — a complete Amazonian experience in 6 days.
A deeper immersion into the Restricted Zone — an extra day on the Manu River means more opportunities to spot jaguars on the banks, explore remote primary forest, and experience the nocturnal wildlife in full.
The definitive Manu expedition. This 8-day journey adds the legendary Blanquillo Macaw Clay Lick — where hundreds of Scarlet and Red-and-Green Macaws descend each morning — to the full Reserve Zone experience.
