FEEL TRIPS MANU TOUR OF A NATURAL EXPERIENCE: The most important request for the development of the ecotourism is the sustainable use the conservations of nature We, Manu Jungle Trips, are a company with conservation in mind, and we are aware of the changes that have occurred on our planet because of human activity. We see ecotourism as a mean of preserving nature by providing sustainable development for the communities that live surrounding natural habitats like Manu National Park. Direct contact with pristine nature can provide a tourist with a love for conservation. Hopefully, the tourist will return home with this feeling and share it with friends and family. If so, then ecotourism has an additional value as a source of environmental education that can be passed along to later generations in this Manu tour Peru, like other countries, observes ecotourism as an invaluable form of sustainable development.
