It's divided into three zones: Special Use for research and education, Reserved for authorized scientists, and Cultural for indigenous communities like the Matsiguenga and Amahuaca. Boasting over 800 bird species, 200 mammals, and numerous reptiles, amphibians, plants, and trees, including jaguars and blue-headed macaws, the park is a biodiversity hotspot. Its stunning landscapes, from rainforests to snow-capped mountains and the Manu Canyon, are strictly protected to preserve this unique ecosystem.
