Day 1: Boca
Manu - Cusco - Cloud Forest
We leave Cusco early in the morning in our specialized
overland vehicle. We will go through interesting valleys between
the Andes and picturesque peasant communities. Approximately
at mid-morning we visit Paucartambo, a picturesque Spanish colonial
town, and then the Acjanacu pass at 3850-m. a. s. l. We continue
our bus trip through the Cloud Forest, rich in endemic species
as the Cock of the Rock, the Spectacled Bear, Orchids, Tree
Ferns (one of the oldest living plants), mosses and lichens.
Overnight in our comfortable platform.
Day 2: Cloud Forest - Pilcopata
- Atalaya - Erika
Early wake up to observe
the fascinating mating ritual dance of the Cock of the Rock
(Rupicola peruviana), Peru's national bird, whit its vibrant
reddish orange feathers. After breakfast we continue our bus
ride through the high forest eventually arriving to Pilcopata
town (*). Following we arrive to Port of Atalaya (700 m.a.s.l)
by the riverbanks of Alto Madre de Dios River in order to
board our motorized boat . Once all the appropriate equipment
is loaded in the boat, we start going down stream watching
the great diversity of bird species, such as herons, vultures,
cormorants. We stop in a small lake to observe caimans, hoatzins
(pre-historic bird) and then arrive to our Private Reserve
of Erika Lodge to spend the night. The great diversity of
wildlife around the lodge is due to the wide altitude range
of this beautiful site. Immediately after arrival we will
walk around the trails and our guide will explain us about
insects, medicinal plants, trees, reptiles, mammals. Short
night walk.
Day 3: Erika - Boca Manu - P.V.
Limonal
After breakfast, we will navigate for 10 minutes towards the
Collpa, a clay wall by the riverbank where different species
of parrots as the Blue Headed Parrot, the White Eyed Parrakeet
and probably the Military Macaw ,among others, come down every
morning for a lick of mineral to help their digestion. After
this fascinating show we continue in our boat towards Port
of Atalaya to take the bus back to Cusco, arriving late at
night.END OF OUR SERVICES.
