Manu National Park
In 1977, the Organization of United Nations for the Educational, Scientific and Cultural (UNESCO) declared the Biosphere Reserve territories for colonization adjacent to the Manu National Park and the Manu Reserved Zone Its protection to an area of 1 881 200 hectares). It is a large area of wilderness, biologically diverse and culturally as it shelters different social groups from the Andean Mountains and some Native Communities and even populations of tribes in voluntary isolation living in an ancestral way. In 1987, it became part of the UNESCO World Heritage List as a natural heritage of humanity.
Manu Biosphere Reserve Zones
Initially, the Manu Biosphere Reserve was created with its three zones (core, buffer, and transition); However nowadays have been some modifications within the protected area legally established in the core area (Manu National Park – SERNANP), which has motivated the effort to work on an update both in the zoning of the Reserve and to propose a possible Expansion of it, with the interest of involving and benefiting a greater number of populations, as well as to expand its sphere of influence, with the aim of integrating new populations and consolidating a sustainable development model, according the UNESCO’s guidelines for conservation, research, and development. Here tourism plays an important role, in fact, the private tourist enterprises represent a key of development for the natural and cultural value and strategic for the purpose of Reserve.

Macaw Clay Lick
The Clay licks are steep walls of red clay caused by erosion along riverbanks. The name comes from the animals they attract: parrots who flock there by the hundreds to eat the clay every morning.
Scientists don’t know exactly why parrots do this, but they suspect it has to do with mineral deficiencies. Whatever the case, the birds’ strange habit provides human visitors to the Tambopata National Reserve and Manu National Park is a rare chance to see this many exotic parrots up close and personal. The clay lick here is the largest in the world, meaning that it provides birdwatchers with the chance to see more of the colorful parrots than anywhere else.
The bright reds and blues of the parrots’ feathers stand out against the muddy wall. The birds are mostly macaws, though smaller parrots and mealies of all sorts group at the clay lick as well. The sound of flapping wings and screeching birds is apparently deafening, which only adds to the view.
