Embark on an unforgettable 5-day journey to the heart of the Amazon Jungle. We begin with an 11-hour private bus Trip Amazon from Cusco, making scenic stops along the way. Our route ascends the Pituhualla High Pass (4,750 meters / 15,583 feet), where you can take in spectacular mountain views. After a short break at the high pass, we descend through the cloud forest filled with lush vegetation, including ferns, orchids, and bromeliads, before reaching the lowland rainforest along the Inambari River.
In the afternoon, we arrive in Mazuco, a small gold mining village (500 meters / 1,640 feet above sea level). You’ll spend the night in a comfortable lodge with double rooms. Optional night walks offer a chance to experience the jungle’s nocturnal life. Travel manu Jungle Trips

After a hearty breakfast, we travel by car to the Inambari River port, a journey of about 30 minutes. We’ll then cross the river by boat and continue for another hour by car to the village of Colorado.

Rise early for an exciting excursion to the macaw clay lick. After a 40-minute boat ride and a short walk, we reach a special hideaway where we can observe these magnificent birds. Around 5:50 AM, the small parrots arrive, followed by the larger macaws. The birds visit this clay lick to consume minerals that aid in digestion, making it a fascinating natural spectacle. Manu Reserve
After breakfast, we take a hike through primary rainforest (about 1.5 hours) to reach the tapir lick, a special observation platform for viewing tapirs (Tapirus terrestris). Tapirs are typically nocturnal, so we provide mosquito nets, mattresses, and blankets to spend the night under the stars, awaiting a tapir sighting. Manu Jungle Trips amazon
