Manu Park Wildlife Centre

Offering simple, yet comfortable accommodation in a prime wildlife-viewing location, Manu Park Wildlife Centre is situated close to the largest and most beautiful of the 13 oxbow lakes in the Manu River.

Nestled within the forest are seven spacious double-occupancy tents, which are fully screened, hinged with lockable doors and fitted with solid wooden floors.  Each room is raised on wooden stilts to enhance ventilation, while all beds within the camp are equipped with a mosquito net. The main area consists of an elevated, screened dining room, with a shared block of private hot-water showers and flushing toilets.

The camp, although basic, is situated in a wildlife hotspot, where there are frequent sightings of giant river otter, caiman and a diversity of birdlife. Thanks to its low impact, this is the only accommodation allowed inside Manu National Park, all other lodges are part of Manu Biosphere Reserve but in the buffer zone of the actual park, so staying here is a unique opportunity to be more remote and closer to the wildlife.
