More Details on This Trip
This trip will be at a more relaxed pace than our usual
Northern Peru trip.  With a shorter and more affordable
itinerary and a more relaxed pace, the trip will still find
close to 300 species.  

The trip will cover a number of habitats and altitudinal
zones from lowland rainforest and wetlands, to dry and
deciduous forest, to montane forest and cloud forest.
This mix of habitat and altitude and a well-planned
itinerary will assure seeing a number of species at an
enjoyable and relaxed pace of birding.

Besides great hummingbirds and tanagers, the trip will
also be filled with a number of fantastic Inca-Finches.   
  • A number of Peruvian endemics and birds endemic
    to Ecuador and Peru can be seen, including
    Marvelous Spatuletail.  The trip should pick up a
    good number endemics.
  • Other key special and fantastic bird species
    include Coppery Metaltail,  Peruvian Plantcutter,
    White-winged Guan, and Black-necked
    Woodpecker

The trip will stay at a number of eco-lodges, including
Abra Patricia Lodge and Chaparri Reserve and Lodge.  
Complete lodging list including all lodges and hotels is
