Mandor is a family initiative for enviromental protection located 4Km from Machu Picchu village (Aguas Calientes). This property offer well maintained trails where you can walk into biodiverse gardens enjoying, learning and at the same time contributing to the restoration and preservation of the habitat of hundreds of species of flora and fauna.

This is an interesting walk to get to from town, following the train line. The actual site is beautiful with a wide range of plants and birds/butterflies all around. The waterfalls are well worth the hike to see.

Putucusi “Happy Mountain” is one of the hidden mountains that surrounds Machu Picchu because very few people have visited. The roads are steep, however once at the top you can appreciate all the beauty of the landscape and a viewmthat not many people have been able to photograph.

Highly recommend this conservatory. This donation only facility is trying to reintroduce butterflies that have been depleted mostly due to pollution and is in beautiful setting along the serene river. The amenities include interpretation, a small snack and gift shop and bathrooms. You can grab a snack among the birds, butterflies, mountains and river.

There are practically no directions to the waterfall. You need to find it by map. Some guy in the jungle asked 10 soles. I didn't really understand why it could be for entrance I assume. A step through the jungle on a hot day is daunting, but worth it. Waterfalls waters is crystal clear and clean. Probably the cleanest water I've ever seen in my life. Definitely worth a visit. Besides, I was the only tourist and did not meet anyone during the climb.

This small town, middle on the Mountanis / Rain Forest, is almost impossible to reach by car (only by train or walking, because of its difficult acces). It has grown really fast, because of the amount of tourism going to Macchu Picchu, however, it is a nice place to stay. Hot Springs, Craft brewerys (local made beers), and its outdoor posibilities, such: Inka Trek, Salkantay Trek, Andean Train, Choquequirao Trek, Macchu Picchu, Huayna Picchu, Shopping hand-made Market. A jungle remote town with international flair, recommended not only to stay on the way to Macchu Picchu.
