The Manu Biosphere is a protected area which still retains healthy populations of jaguar, tapir, anteater, black caiman, giant otter and 13 species of monkey. Its low human population and their continued use of traditional hunting techniques, means that generally animals are still unafraid of man.
Wildlife aside, however, the journey into the park itself is amazing. Access to the park is by a single track dirt road, which carries you from Cusco, over the Andes mountains to an elevation of 4000 meters, past pre-inca ruins and then down through virgin cloud forest into the Amazon basin itself. The scenery is spectacular!
Spanish group courses are offered at low intermediate and mid/high intermediate levels in combination with jungle excursions with an experienced guide.
Spanish Schools teachers from Cuzco accompany the students throughout the trip, therefore guaranteeing Spanish Schools's high level of Spanish instruction.
Accommodation is provided in double rooms with communal toilets at Pantiacolla Lodge, located in the Cultural Zone of the Manu Biosphere abreast of the beautiful and turbulent Madre de Dios river. Nine hundred hectares of land surround the lodge and gritted trails throughout offer the enthusiastic explorer unparalleled wildlife watching opportunities.
