Situated in Southeast Peru, the Manu National Park has an area of 1.9 million hectares. Within the Reserve, there are about 6500 Quechua and 2000 Amazonian residents. Three key biogeographic provinces are involved with the Manu National Park (the Puna, the Yungas and the Amazonian provinces). It spans 200–4020 meters above sea level. The Manu National Park is distinguished by a relatively high level of diversity when combined with topography, soil, and climate conditions (Natural World Heritage Site). Some of the fauna are at danger of extinction.
