Fodor's Expert Review Manu Park Wildlife Center

Puerto Maldonado, Madre de Dios, Peru

Located deep in the wilderness of the Manu Biosphere Reserve, this InkaNatura property has elevated bungalows, each with screened walls, two single beds, mosquito nets, and a private bathroom with cold-water shower. It's rustic, but the focus here is less on creature comforts and more on seeing rare creatures such as tapirs, peccaries, and various monkey species. The nearby oxbow lake Cocha Salvador is home to giant otters. This lodge is combined with other InkaNatura properties on four- to seven-night tours.
