This comfortable, strategically located, Rainforest Alliance-verified lodge is designed to accommodate visitors who wish to explore the cloud forest, but also serves as a top-level research centre.
Manu Learning Centre’s accommodation consists of ten en suite rooms and two rooms with a shared bathroom, housed within thatched buildings, which have been beautifully constructed in keeping with the surroundings. There is a separate dining and relaxation area with tables and a few sofas, as well as a library and a covered area with hammocks where you can wind down after a tiring day in the forest.
The lodge boasts a solar-powered internet connection, an environmentally-sound septic tank system, and gravity-fed water pumps – all of which help to minimise its impact on the environment. The cook provides a wide range of delicious meals and, with advance notice, all diets can be catered for.
