Peru Birding Tours
Birding tours in Peru are very varied. This is because Peru is home to an extraordinary diversity of bird species; even new species are discovered every year in the Amazon jungle, mountain ranges of difficult access and between the Andean valleys. To date, ornithologists have recorded 1730 species (almost 20% of the world total), of which 300 are found throughout the country. Peru also holds world records for species per area (650 in Tambopata) and the record for the largest number of species seen in a single day (361 around the biological station of Cocha Cashu, Manu).
Birdwatchers consider Peru a bird species paradise, so birding tours are common here. You’ll find endless varieties: migratory species from distant parts of the planet, those that have disappeared in other parts of the world, or those that abound in unexplored corners of Peru; also those that abound and fly in herds, those that mark the cycle of life at sea, in the jungle and the Andean lakes.
