Fodor's Expert Review Manu Wildlife Center

Though outside the Manu Biosphere Reserve, the Manu Wildlife Center is still a great place to see animals, since it is close to macaw and tapir collpas and has 48 km (30 miles) of rainforest trails. The center is jointly operated by InkaNatura Travel and Manu Expeditions, both of which are known for their expert guides and attention to details. Raised, thatched-roof bungalows have screened walls and tiled hot-water baths. Electricity is available in the main building for a few hours each night. The lodge can be visited on tours that travel from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado or shorter tours that begin and end in Puerto Maldonado.
