This Peru tour is a perfect short trip for an introduction to some of Peru’s outstanding birds and scenic areas. We start with coastal birding in Lima, a visit to the famous Inca ruins of Machu-Picchu but also some very good subtropical, temperate cloud forest, as well as looking for some of the rarest birds on earth in the Polylepis woodlands. We also take in the Apurimac endemics near Cuzco, an area not on regular Peru birding itineraries. On this trip we stay at comfortable country inns throughout and all are convenient to the best birding spots. The food is very good and the people very friendly. If you have never been to South America before, this introductory tour to Peru will open your eyes to the beauty and diversity that is South America. With the recent publication of the new Birds of Peru, this is now an excellent time to visit this incredibly diverse country.
