Birdwatching and Cultural Tour of Peru
This slow-paced 17-day Peru birding and culture tour is available as a set departure (or available request) where you can expect to see around 250 species of bird, including a dozen or so endemics. This birding tour in Peru combines top quality wildlife watching with archaeology, history and culture. We explore the classic southern Peru circuit from Lima to Cuzco, taking in the cultural highlights of Nazca, Lake Titicaca and Machu Picchu as well as some of the best birding to be had in this South American country.
On this Peru birdwatching and cultural adventure, we begin near Lima travelling along the coast for seabirds, including the beautiful Inca Tern. We then travel to Nazca for a historical encounter with the ancient ancestors of modern Peru and the mysterious lines carved in the barren landscape.
Next stop on this Peru birding and culture tour we visit the Colca Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the world, for its unique birdlife and to see the mighty Andean Condor, king of the high mountains, soaring overhead. Then we journey on to experience the majesty of Lake Titicaca and the curious floating islands of the Uros people.
At last we then reach the most famous archaeological site in the world, the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu citadel. Birding in and around this 'lost city' of the Incas is a highlight not to miss on a trip to Peru. Avian highlights in the area include Torrent Duck and Andean Cock-of-the-Rock.
From Machu Picchu we move on to the endemic-rich Abra Malaga area and then our adventure then takes us into the Amazon rainforest to the Amigos Research Station and a chance to visit one of the famous macaw clay licks.
This complete Peru Birding and Culture tour delivers fantastic birds, ancient world heritage sites, breathtaking scenery, extensive opportunities for seeing exotic plants and animals, fascinating culture and arguably some of the best cuisine in the world.
