After an early breakfast, we will take a walk to observe forest wildlife such as monkeys and birds. Then, we will visit a coca plantation and a wildlife rescue centre. Afterwards, we continue to Puerto Atalaya, located on the banks of the Alto Madre de Dios River (500 m a.s.l.), where we begin our boat journey. As we travel downstream, we will observe a great variety of birds such as herons, vultures, cormorants, and more, until we reach Amazon Manu Lodge. Here, we can take a refreshing swim in the river and enjoy lunch. In the afternoon, we will visit a nearby swamp, home to toucans, woodpeckers, macaws, and other species. After dinner, we will head out once more to spot the glowing eyes of caimans in the dark. Overnight at the lodge.

Early in the morning, we take a boat to visit the Macaw Clay Lick, a riverside wall where various parrot species—such as the blue-headed parrot, white-eyed parakeet, and the red-fronted macaw—gather every morning to feed on mineral-rich clay that aids digestion and toxin removal. We will enjoy breakfast back at the lodge. Afterwards, we will take a 2.5- to 3-hour hike through the forest, returning for lunch and time to rest or swim in the river. Guests may also choose to enjoy a free zipline experience. In the afternoon, we visit Machuwasi Lake, exploring it on wooden rafts to observe birds like the hoatzin and, with some luck, monkeys or capybaras. After sunset, we take a night walk to observe insects, amphibians, and other nocturnal wildlife. Dinner and overnight at Amazon Manu Lodge.

Optional Free Activity: Canopy Zipline Guests can enjoy an unforgettable Amazon canopy adventure gliding between treetop platforms on high-quality, safe equipment, followed by a 20-meter rappel descent back to the forest floor.

After a delicious breakfast, we will spend some time observing hummingbirds around the lodge before boarding our boat back to Puerto Atalaya. Our private bus will be waiting to take us back to Cusco. Lunch will be served along the way, and we expect to arrive between 5:30 pm and 6:30 pm.
