Your can visit this great inka site either by feet or by train and it is the main attraction of perú. So many tourists were here and bettina said: “you never walk alone”. How true!
A little over a hundred years ago this city was rediscovered for the western world and because the spanish conquerors had never found it, it is accordingly well preserved. Otherwise there would be a church on the ruins of the temple.
This park is one of the oldest in perú and covers an area of almost 19.000 km². It´s located in the east of cusco and it stretches along the slopes of the andes and reaches into the amazon lowlands. Some uncontacted indian tribes live here and a large part of the reserve is off limits, even to scientists. We spent almost a week on the madre de dios and on the manu river with the organisation wildlife perú. Thanks to “mister eagle eye” our guide alexandro, who did a great job.

In the morning sun over 35 of these impressive birds go round in circles, before they disapeared in the andes and return again in the evening.
