Northern Peru - A Birding Paradise
Northern Peru offers an astonishingly rewarding and diverse experience for the serious birder.
It is fast becoming the most desirable birding destination in the world, owing to the presence of endemics such as the White-winged Guan and Marvellous Spatuletail ... and its unrivalled range of mega-diverse eco-systems and endemic areas.
PeruNorth offers a variety of ways to explore this birding richness. They range from four-day searches for specific, rare species - such as the Scarlet-Banded Barbet - to epic three-week set departures, intended to take in as much of Northern Peru's incredible diversity as possible, within the time limit.
Moreover, a number of Amazon lodges offer specialist birding itineraries.
NB. The shorter modules are designed so that, if time allows, they can be linked together to make a longer itinerary.
