town with narrow streets and a beautiful church that still preserves its old customs. From there, we ascend to the Tres Cruces viewpoint (3,900 masl) for a breathtaking view of the Amazon basin, weather permitting. Descending from the viewpoint, we enter the Rainforest National Park, known for its diverse wildlife and flora, including
species like the Peruvian national bird, the cock of the rock, hummingbirds, quetzals, trogons, flycatchers, and woolly monkeys. We also have the opportunity to explore various orchids, mosses, and ferns. Finally, we arrive at Atalaya (500 masl), where we board a motorized boat to reach the rustic Rainforest Lodge. The lodge offers private bathrooms and hot showers. In the evening, after dinner, we embark on a thrilling night walk in the rainforest.

Paddling silently in a catamaran on the lake, we observe a playful family of giant river otters, the world’s largest freshwater carnivores. These otters consume
between 4 and 5 kilos of fish daily and can often be seen eating large fish on logs near the lakeside. We also have the chance to spot rare bird species such as the prehistoric Shansho, herons, cormorants, water ducks, horned screamers, turtles, taricayas, and black alligators. The remainder of the day is dedicated to walking the trails in the area, in search of the 13 species of monkeys found here, including the black spider monkey, red howler monkey,
night monkey, dusky titi monkey, saddleback tamarin, and brown capuchin monkey, as well as other mammals like the giant anteater, South American coati, two-toed sloth, deer, and peccaries.

Orchids Rainforest Wildlife Peru
Many botanists estimate that the orchids are the most numerous group of flowering plants, with between 25,000 and 35,000 species. Even today, this great diversity makes study of the family Orchidaceae difficult. Nevertheless, researchers have already elucidated several interesting, even surprising, aspects of orchid ecology.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs):
Orchids Manu Cloud Forest
Avoiding hybridization between species is one of the most important aspects of flowering plant reproduction. Hybridization occurs when the pollen of one species
fertilizes the ovule of another. In order to avoid this, most plants unleash complicated rejection mechanisms such as genetic incompatibility or the production of chemical
compounds to disable unwanted pollen grains arriving at the stigma. In this way, plants assure the continuity of their own species without alterations.
Orchids have developed their own strategies to avoid hybridization between different species. The flower’s shape holds much importance in this arena. For example, the
presence of a spurn. hairs, or the size of the space through which an insect must pass
are each designed with such precision as to impede the passage of any insect that is
not the correct pollinator. So each pollinator is forced to visit only flowers of the same species, reducing the possibility of one species’ flowers receiving pollen from another
species.
Flowers fragrances are also a very effective mechanism for avoiding pollination between species. A tiny difference in the dose of one or another chemical compound
can result in a fragrance irresistible to one insect and repulsive to another. Thus each orchid species can produce a distinct fragrance which appeals particularly to the
appropriate pollinator.
Pollinators are not always so specific: there also exist some insects which visit and pollinate flowers of various species of orchids at one time. The different orchid species
that share the same pollinator each make use of the form, position and length of their floral structures to deposit their respective pollen on different parts of the insect’s
body. So, as one species deposits pollen on the insect’s head, another may be designed to place pollen on the insect’s front legs. At the same time, each flower’s
structures are designed to retrieve the correct pollen from the pollinator is body this is how pollinization can occur so flawlessly
