Wildlife tours in Peru can take you from the exotic Amazon jungle to the coastal desert plains via the breathtaking peaks of the Andes. Peru’s wealth of places to visit offers boundless potential for wildlife watching and cultural experiences.

The capital, Lima, is the starting point for visits to nature reserves such as Manu National Park, Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, or Tambopata National Reserve and their fascinating animals. A tour of Peru’s Amazon rainforest means the chance to catch sight of a Jaguar, watch the mighty Harpy Eagle on its lofty perch, or the vibrant Cock of the Rock amongst the dense foliage.

You could journey by boat down the Amazon River or its many tributaries spotting Giant Otters and sharp-toothed Spectacled Caimen. Or you might choose to visit the alpine grasslands called the Puno and be lucky enough to find Spectacled Bear alongside many species of hummingbird, the exotic Hoatzin and the endemic Peruvian Piedtail.

Travel to the Ballestas islands and Paracas National Reserve to see populations of Humboldt penguins and a wealth of other seabirds. Or trek the famous Inca Trail to Machu Picchu looking for Andean condors along the way. Perhaps you fancy drinking Pisco Sours in a sleepy colonial town, swimming with Pink River Dolphins, watching a dazzling array of Scarlet Macaws gathering at a clay lick, or adding hundreds of other rainforest birds to your life-list?

Wherever you go, Peru is a country ripe for exploration with its vibrant Andean culture and its unique ecosystems. These are home to around 14,500 different animals, including a near 1,800 species of birds. Almost every eco-lodge in the Amazon Basin lists over 600 bird species for their property.
