Two girls from Gamitana Cocha, a small village in the Peruvian Amazon, walk the two-mile trail to their sister village: Vista Bueno. Both of these girls attended a free health clinic provided by Project Amazonas earlier that day. This photograph is part of a solution which provides health care to over 6,000 people in the amazon rainforest each year. Learn more about what we do at NGO AidJoy.

It is one of the largest and most important conservation units of the world, it protects an entire virgin watershed, covering altitudinal ranges from 200 m to 4100 m above sea level.
Amazon Travel Why go to Manu?
• Amazon Travel Ecotourism and Conservation
Manu is a very rich/ biodiverse but fragile ecosystem. Being home of several endangered species, e.g. Giant Otter, Harpy Eagle, Giant Anteater, Ocelot and Wooly Monkey, ecologically sustainable tourism in Manu is imperative and a low tourism flow is favourable.
Visitors should be informed about rainforest conservation and favorabletourism activities have to be controled ( e.g. don´t get too close to the animals). Ecotourism also is an important economic activity for the inhabitants of the rainforest that permits its use without distroying the rainforest resources.
That´s why it´s very important to involve local people in Manu tourism!
