Manu
Lodge is considered the best place in the tropics
to see, photograph or film Giant River Otters. Host to these
70 pound gregarious mammals that live in small groups. A
family of six to eight Giant Otters visit the lake every
other week and our clients may see them from within 50 feet
in front of the main building without disturbing them. Silently
watch using the lake riverbanks, or lake piers guarantees
wonderful sightings of these large carnivores as they fish,
feed their cubs, preen and play. The lodge strictly forbids
the use of canoes or catamarans to try to see the otters
since Giant otters have sucessfuly bred in several occasions
near Manu Lodge.
