Manu Rainforest
Earth’s Supreme Biodiversity Reserve
Destination Overview
Covering over 1.7 million hectares, Manu Biosphere Reserve is one of the most untouched and biodiverse places on Earth. Spanning from high Andean cloud forests down to lowland Amazonian rivers, it shelters thousands of rare flora and fauna.
History & Heritage
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987, Manu has been preserved from commercial exploitation due to its extreme isolation. It remains home to uncontacted indigenous tribes as well as the Matsigenka people who have lived in harmony with the forest for centuries.
