Birdwatching and photography is done at the attractions already set up: such as hummingbird feeders, gardens around the cabins and restaurant, or by walking the internal trails or traveling by road to the surrounding areas in search of activity. At the hummingbird feeders you can see the Amethyst-throated Sunangel, Tyrian Metaltail, Collared Inca and Masked Flowerpiercer. On the trails and in the fruit trees around the lodge you can see the beautiful tanagers: Golden-collared Tanager, Grass-green Tanager, Scarlet-bellied Mountain Tanager, Hooded Mountain Tanager, among others. In other trails you can find more diversity. Other birds of interest are: the common waved bullfrog, the common red-and-white bullfrog, the reddish bullfrog, the black-faced finch and the gray-breasted mountain toucan.

Bird watching in search of target birds along the famous Manu Road and trails around the lodge.

We will descend further down the Manu trail to the comfortable Villa Carmen Lodge. We will spend most of the day birding in the upper tropical forests of the foothills in search of species such as Military Macaw, Peruvian Hummingbird, Chestnut-rumped Antbird, Striped-breasted Antwren, Black Antbird, Ornate Flycatcher, Spotted Red-billed Tyrannulet and the charming Tody-Flycatcher. Antwren, Black Antbird, Ornate Flycatcher, spotted Red-billed Tyrannulet and the lovely Black-backed Tody-Flycatcher. With a little luck, we will find an Amazonian Umbrellabird perched in a tree on the side of the road. Clear areas can produce Smooth-billed Ani, the odd-looking Swallow Tanager, Blue-black Grasshopper, Chestnut-bellied and Black-and-white and Black-and-white Seedeaters, and Lesser Seedeater Finch. In good weather, raptors often fly overhead and we will be on the lookout for White Hawk and Black-and-white Hawk-Eagle. Overnight at Villa Carmen.

Today, we leave early to reach lower elevations. The mountain and lowland forests of the lower section of the trail have a different set of birds than the previous sections. Therefore, the list includes birds such as the Orange-breasted Hawk, Blue-headed Parrot, Barred Piculet, Red-capped Booby, and Red-capped Booby, among others. Later we will arrive at Villa Carmen Lodge. The lodge is strategically located at an altitude of 520 meters, so it is home to different types of habitats that we will explore in the coming days.

There are almost 50 km of trails around the lodge, through mature and secondary forests, bamboo thickets and around lakes. Possible bamboo specialists here are Manu Antbird, Striated Antbid, Bamboo Antshrike and White-cheeked Tody-tyrant. In addition, in the surroundings of the pond we can find rufescent tiger heron, sunbird, sun grebe, among other species. In addition, other interesting birds in the area are the black hawk eagle, blue-crowned trogon, black-faced dacnis, golden-bellied euphonia and many more. Overnight at Villa Carmen.
