Rainforest

We went to Manu Ecological Reserve. It took 9 hours. On an old bus. On a one-lane, curvy mountain road. It's kind of shocking we made it.
On a short hike we got to see Peru's national bird, the Cock-of-the-Rock. They are striking red birds with a large bump between its nose and forehead.
Manu is a protected area, and you have to go there with a guide because not only are there lots of plant species and wildlife, but there are still some Amazonian tribes living deep in the jungle.

We stayed in this cabin the first night.
