Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Cusco. Leave the city behind and head towards the breathtaking Andean landscapes on your way to the Manu Biosphere Reserve.
Enjoy a delicious breakfast at the Willka Wayra hummingbird garden in Paucartambo. Observe beautiful hummingbirds and other characteristic Andean bird species, surrounded by spectacular mountains and nature.
