DESTINATION OF THE MONTH (DOM) - July 2019
Manu National Park, Peru!

Each month we focus on a "Destination of the Month" (DOM), either because it is a new location we have found, or we have just revisited to update the detail, or because NOW would be a good time to book a holiday there BEFORE the best hotels are taken or flight prices have rocketed.  
(For past Destinations of the Month check out
TOUR REPORTS on the Main Menu above).


​This month, we feature possibly the most pristine and certainly the BEST national park that we have ever visited in South America, MANU National Park in Peru! ​
Accessed from CUSCO - perhaps combined with that "once-in-a-lifetime" visit to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley - Manu is one of the largest parks in South America and in the Amazon, being recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the late 80s.  Exceptionally remote, needing two days of travel to get into its interior, this has preserved its pristine status, allowing a few discerning visitors to enjoy close sightings of VERY rare flora and fauna.  This includes jaguar, ocelot, giant river otter, critically endangered bird species, caiman, and so much more!   Even traces of "non-contact" tribes can be encountered here!
​

Unique Destinations visited this amazing location in May 2017, early summer being an ideal time to see so many species, and so a good time to start considering for your 2020 diary NOW!  We would recommend an 8-day visit, to allow for the time needed to reach the interior (one day by vehicle; followed by one day in a small boat; repeated in reverse on leaving).  This gives you 4 full days in the interior to spot the "local residents", on gentle treks around several ox-bow lakes, or combing the riverbanks on board your personal boat.  Accommodation is spartan but comfortable; our tour operators would provide a team that includes your guide, chef and boat-boys.  ALL provisions are brought in with your boat, and subsequent waste brought out in the same manner. 
A truly pioneering experience, very GREEN, it is HUGELY worthwhile!

With prices typically starting at US$ 1,950 per person for the 8-day, all-inclusive, tour with taxes (deductible for overseas visitors), Unique Destinations can negotiate discounts on these rates on request and subject to availability.  Shorter tours available on request.
