Into the Jungle

A brown road between very green jungle View over green plants onto a river through a wide, flat jungle landscape We went on a tour by car and boat into the lower jungle of the Manu national park from Cusco.

A capuchin monkey sitting in a bamboo bush and watching the photographer Thanks to our very enthusiastic guide, we got to see a lot of wildlife - like this capuchin monkey watching us likewise.

A small green parrot with a blue head on a branch Along the road, we encountered many beautiful birds. Most of them were out of reach for our cameras, though.

A full-grown tapir and a smaller woolly monkey enjoying some yellow fruit in front of some kind of wooden shed with a woman wearing a red hat watching over them We also met two friendly tapirs. The massive animals don't mind humans (or other monkeys) around them and even enjoy getting petted. This one is sharing a meal of fruits with a young woolly monkey in an animal sanctuary we passed.
