In Manu it is possible to find all the variety of ecological floors that exist in the Amazon and this has led to its biodiversity being one of the most appreciated. Up to 250 varieties of trees have been found in a single hectare.
Before becoming an area protected by the Peruvian Government, the Manu National Park was preserved thanks to its inaccessibility. In 1977 it was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO and, three years later, a World Heritage Site.
