3 Days \/ 2 Nights In The Manu National Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Manu National Park, located in southeastern Peru (between the regions of Cusco and Madre de Dios) is one of the largest tropical parks in South America. The park extends from the mountains to the jungle. It covers two million hectares (4.5 million acres), and the territory is rich in flora and fauna with a wide variety of habitats, including the high Andes, rain forests, and rain forests of plains. In 1977, the Manu National Park was designated as a World Biological Reserve, home to otters, caimans, jaguars, approximately 13 species of primates and about 1000 species of birds, as well as 10% of the vascular plant species in the world, including several species of figs and palms, and innumerable species of medicinal plants, which are being cataloged by scientists. A single hectare of Manu forest can have up to 220 species of trees, while a hectare of temperate forest in Europe or North America can be up to twenty species of trees. The Manu National Park can be considered the park with the greatest biological diversity and the most protected on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
