The park protects several ecological zones ranging from as low as 150 meters above sea level in parts of the Southwest Amazon moist forests to Peruvian Yungas at middle elevations to Central Andean wet puna at altitudes of 4200 meters. Which makes this one of the most diverse protected areas on the world. And it is actually one of the less man-touched places in the world
If this is not enough to make you want to go there, just search for photos on Google or Flickr. This is a really great park to see for the first time the Amazon jungle
The access can be pretty hard though. From Cusco you can take a bus for 8 hours and then catch a boat. Either way you need to hire someone that knows the area, or book a tour in one of the many Manu agencies you will find in Cusco
