DAY 1
A 35-minute flight will take you from Cusco to the Boca Manu airstrip for a 2 hour
Birding boat trip to MWC. Afternoon walk on the MWC trail system, which includes “the grid”. Overnight at Manu Wildlife Center. (L, D)


DAY 2
Early morning visit to the spectacular macaw clay lick, a short boat trip from the lodge. From a specially designed blind, we will witness this colorful display of hundreds of macaws and parrots. After the birds leave, we will visit an oxbow lake on our way back to the lodge for a late lunch, followed by an afternoon of birding on the trails. Overnight at Manu Wildlife Center. (B,L,D)


DAY 3, DAY 4, DAY 5
We will spend the next three days birding in a variety of habitats. Our activities will include extensive birding in terra firme forest, where the grid will give us access to several known territories of hard to get birds, follow mixed species flocks and spend time in flooded forest. We will also visit the bamboo island, since almost all specialists of this unique habitat look for the Rufous-fronted Antthrush in the Heliconia thickets by the Antthrush trail, and visit a typical large oxbow lake. Overnight at Manu Wildlife Center. (B, L, D).


DAY 6
An early boat trip with some birding on the river will take us to the airstrip at Boca Manu, where we will spend a few hours birding secondary habitats and forest edge , before returning to Cusco. ( B, L )
