Introduction
The eastern slopes of the Andes have one of the highest diversity
of amphibians in the world (Duellman 1999, Stuart
et
al. 2004), as
well as high diversity of reptiles (Duellman 2005, von May
et
al.
2009). Peru is a mega-diverse country hosting approximately 571
species of amphibians (Frost 2013) and 437 species of reptiles
(Uetz & Hošek 2013). The most important biodiversity hotspot for
amphibians, the Tropical Andes (Myers
et
al. 2000), runs from north to
south along the western half of Peru’s territory. Several protected areas
have been created in the Peruvian Andes over the past three decades
(SERNANP 2010). However, our knowledge of the biodiversity
within these areas is very fragmentary.
For example in southeastern Peru, 10 nationally protected
areas extend from the Amazon lowlands in the Department o Madre de Dios to the foothill of the Andes of Cusco and Puno
(Figure
1), yet none of these areas has a comprehensive list of
amphibian and reptiles species. One of such areas, Manu National
Park (Manu NP), is unique in covering the entire watershed of the
Manu river, a large tributary to the Alto Madre de Dios river (the
upper Madre de Dios river, a tributary to the Madeira river). In the
lowland floodplain and terra firme forests along the Manu River,
inside Manu NP, several publications reported preliminary lists of
amphibians and reptiles known to occur at two sites, Cocha Cashu
Biological Station (Rodríguez 1987, 1992, Rodríguez & Cadle 1990)
and Pakitza (Morales & McDiarmid 1996). Recent studies have
produced extensive lists for Los Amigos Conservation Concession
(von May
et
al.
2006, 2009, 2010). Los Amigos lies outside of Manu
NP, but its northern edge overlaps with the park’s buffer zone. Most
of our knowledge about amphibian and reptilian diversity in the Andean foothills comes from studies conducted in the Kosñipata
valley (Hurtado & Blanco 1994, Catenazzi & Rodriguez 2001,
Catenazzi
et
al. 2009, 2011, 2012, Lehr & Catenazzi 2008, 2009a,
b, unpublished field data), including Villa Carmen and Wayqecha
Biological Stations. The upper Kosñipata valley (above 2500-3000
m) is part of Manu NP, but the rest of the valley between Pillahuata
(2500 m) and Pillcopata (600 m), along the Paucartambo–Shintuya
road, is part of the park’s buffer zone

Peter DiPrete and David Fuerte selfie at Villa Carmen, Peru
A quick selfie from one of the fish ponds at Villa Carmen in the Manu Reserve near Pilcopata, Peru. David Fuerte proved himself an excellent guide during our quick trip. I highly recommend David Fuerte and Manu Expeditions.

Jungle Ultra Highlights - Stage One
Stage One of the Beyond the Ultimate Jungle Ultra is a winding trail which takes the runners from the thin air of the Cloud Forest, down to the boiling jungle of the Kosnipata Valley.
They descend along stretches of the only rugged road which links our finish line in the small town of Pilcopata to the world at large. They'll also tackle a couple of short steep climbs, a first white-water crossing and see the first of many beautiful waterfalls.
Come with us to see beautiful Peru.

The Jungle Ultra is 230km of beautiful and brutal trail. Starting in the clouds at Basecamp and ending in the choking humidity and twisted terrain of the Amazon jungle in Peru.

Spot-winged Antbird Schistocichla leucostigma Male on the Nest
At ~1280m in a low, wet area within late secondary forest bordering an area that was recently washed out by the Kosnipata river. Madre de Dios, Peru
Sep 2 2010. The nest was found containing two eggs. Unfortunately, the nest failed likely due to depredation by snake. The nest of this species was until very recently, unknown to science.
