Cock-of-the-Rock Lodge itineraries
• Includes: Airport pick-up in Cusco.
• Roundtrip private overland transportation.
• Private bungalow with private bath, all meals.
• Naturalist guides.
The Selva Sur reserve is part of the Manu Biosphere Reserve, one of the most biologically diverse areas on our planet. The Selva Sur reserve protects the blazing red Andean CockoftheRock, two species of quetzals, the endangered Spectacled Bear, the acrobatic Woolly Monkey, and Mountain Toucan. Along the banks of cascading waterfalls and within the cloud forest canopies live Amazonian Umbrella Birds, myriad species of tanagers, and hummingbirds. Orchids, tree ferns, Torrent Ducks, Andean Dippers, and a continuing variety of wildlife inhabit one of nature's beautiful wonderlands.
The journey from Cusco takes visitors on a 6-hour trip by private vehicle over two Andean Mountain chains of 13,100 feet elevation through a habitat of wildlife such as the rare Huemal Deer, vizcachas, and Mountain Caracara. CORL lies past patches of elfin forest on the eastern slopes of the Andes in the mist of the Cloud Forest. Troops of muscular-limbed Woolly Monkeys and comical Brown Capuchin Monkeys forage through the reserve. Rare sightings of the endangered Spectacled Bear, South America's only species of bear, have been recorded near CORL.
Within earshot of the rushing Kosñipata River in the cool, virtually mosquito-free, cloud forest climate our lodge is the perfect place for birding, nature, and photography adventures.

• 8 double-occupancy bungalows each with a spacious living area and private tiled bathroom with flush toilet and hot water shower.
• Platform complex with a large dining Room and 6 double occupancy rooms with shared bath facilities.
• Screened dining room.

This mysterious cloud forest harbors species of flora and fauna new to science. Indeed, in 1995 two Peruvian biology students, sponsored by Selva Sur, carried out basic survey work on orchids, reptiles and amphibians. They recorded two entirely new (previously undescribed) species of orchids, and four new species of reptiles and amphibians for Peru.
