It is necessary to leave Cusco early in order to reach the cloud forest – traveling through Andean landscapes of great beauty, with deep valleys, highlands, rural communities and picturesque colonial towns such as Paucartambo, which has been the gateway to the Manu forests since pre-Hispanic times. Acjanaco pass 3,850 m.a.s.l marks the official entrance to Manu National Park. From here the road descends to the cloud forest, passing the important ecosystem comprised of Andean grassland, where vegetation is sparse, before reaching the cloud forest in the afternoon. This is a very rich area in terms of flora and fauna, the habitat of Rupicula peruviana, Quetzal, Blue-crowned motmot, Toucans, Spectacled Bear South Americas only bear, White-tailed deer, butterflies, ferns and orchids.
