The Manu Lodge overlooks
a 1.24 mile-long and 590 foot-wide oxbow lake, which is
surrounded by huge, vine-festooned tropical trees. Manu
Lodge is the only lodge within the Manu Biosphere Reserve,
and is surrounded by thousands of square miles of uncut,
unhunted forest full of wildlife from fairly tame to very
tame monkeys, large birds, and game mammals.
A
few new lodges and camping sites are located well beyond
the limits of the Manu Reserved Zone (the lower portion
of the Manu Basin). Two park stations strictly control
the access to this pristine area. Since there are no roads
near or inside the protected Manu lowlands, the river
provides the only access. Only authorized tour and research
boats are allowed to the interior of the Reserve.
Manu Lodge is constructed of fine mahogany
cut from logs left on the beaches by the annual January-March
floods. It is elevated on reinforced stilts and is divided
into two communicating blocks, A and B. The entire lodge,
including porches, is screened and accessible from outside
through screened double doors.
The Manu Rainforest Lodge provides its
guests comfortable lodging in double rooms with magnificent
views. Kitchen, showers and latrines are located in separate
clean buildings. There is a bar, meeting area and dining
area with capacity for up to 44 people also available
for your comfort.
The lodge offers its guests mountain
biking and rafting
in order to better observe the area's natural beauty.
