Then we climb the last mountain to reach Acjanaco, entrance to the MANU NATIONAL PARK, where we descend to the lush cloud forest, which houses a variety of flora and fauna. Being an ideal place for epiphytes, orchids, bromeliads, etc.. It is there where we will explore the cloud forest and can appreciate the National bird of Peru, the colorful Cock of the Rock in its ritual mating dance, as well as toucans, trogons, quetzals, monkeys and hopefully the South American spectacled bear (Tremantus ornatos).

Very early breakfast to start our expedition of the day aboard our small boat, hiking for 4 hours approx. through trails and beaches along the Palotoa River, appreciating a variety of birds and families of monkeys; once arrived at the pongo of Meganto, it is time to explore and locate the main panel and the others that are in different parts of the place.
Recordings that astonish locals and strangers with expressions and figures in low relief finely carved that left a message of the richness and spiritual connection with our natural world.
In the main panel, the main god of the INCAS, the sun in its three wonderful moments of the day, as a sign of respect, the rising sun, the shining sun and the setting sun.
On the far right is the profile of the face of the ruler of the Inca empire, undoubtedly the immense engravings shown on the panel. It is a challenge to decipher. For the Amazonian cultures, PUSHARO is a temple or a lost city that today is a rock that speaks and reveals the secrets of ancient civilizations.
