The ecological jewel of Peru, Manu Biosphere Park cradles the Amazon Basin giving travelers the choice between a boat ride down the Amazon River, a trek through the Rainforest, and plenty of local wildlife attractions.

Generally the Manu Park attracts only a couple thousand tourists a year, quite minimal in comparison to more central jungle tours which can draw upwards of 30,000 tourists a year. Cost of tours range in price from $550 - $2,200 Canadian depending on what type of comfort level you ...

The Canopy Tour takes visitors across 9 cables and 11 platforms situated 1200 meters above the forest at different points along the Montezuma ...
