We will leave Cusco very early in the morning in one of our vehicles. We will cross interesting valleys between the Andes Mountains and picturesque rural communities. We will visit the chullpas of Ninamarca, a pre-Incan culture (Lupaca), and then stop in Paucartambo, a beautiful colonial town, to enjoy breakfast. We will continue our journey for about 40 minutes to the entrance of Manu Acjanaco National Park. We will descend to the cloud forest where we will have lunch. We will descend through the cloud forest, an area rich in endemic species, such as the spectacled bear and the cock-of-the-rock, Peru's national bird, which performs a unique courtship ritual. We may also see orchids, bromeliads, ferns, and more. We will continue observing the spectacular nature throughout our journey until we reach our lodge, Pilcopata, where we will spend our first night.
