Descripción: UNESCO, MAB Biosphere Reserves Directory.
«The Manu Biosphere Reserve and National Park is located in the provinces of Manu and Paucartambo , comprising lands on the eastern slopes of the Andes and in the Peruvian Amazons. There are three major landforms within the reserve, alluvial plains, hills and mountains. The alluvial plains are flat areas along the rivers where sediments may be deposited on a seasonal basis. The rugged mountainous landscape includes the eastern slopes of the Andes where the rivers Manu and ‘Madre de Dios’ have their sources. With a wide range of altitude, vegetation varies widely.»
