About Peru
Peru: A Land of Birds, Culture, and Contrast
Peru is a country where every landscape tells a story. From the cold waters of the Pacific, alive with Inca Terns and Humboldt Penguins, to the snow-capped Andes and the lush Amazon basin, this destination offers one of the most dramatic ecological transitions on Earth. It’s a paradise for birders, photographers, and travelers seeking authentic encounters with nature and culture.
Our journeys reveal the country’s most iconic species: Bearded Mountaineer, Sword-billed Hummingbird, Andean Cock-of-the-rock, Rufous-crested Coquette, while exploring the legendary Sacred Valley and the timeless citadel of Machu Picchu.
Beyond the Andes, Northern Peru opens a different world of dry forests, misty ridges, and cloud-covered valleys filled with endemics such as the Marvelous Spatuletail, Long-whiskered Owlet, Royal Sunangel, and Lulu’s Tody-Flycatcher.
Combining extraordinary biodiversity with the legacy of ancient civilizations, Peru invites travelers to experience its full spectrum, a living canvas where culture and nature meet in perfect harmony, from the Andes to the Amazon.

Northern Peru
Endemics of Northern Peru
Our Northern Peru expedition takes you through one of South America’s most exciting and least-explored birding regions — a land of rugged mountains, lush cloud forests, and hidden valleys where many of the country’s rarest and most beautiful species live.
This journey focuses on the zones of endemism that make Northern Peru unique, combining breathtaking scenery with the opportunity to photograph some of the continent’s most coveted birds. We’ll visit a series of reserves and protected areas, including Huembo, Fundo Alto Nieva, Abra Patricia, and Gocta, each offering distinct habitats and exceptional diversity.
The highlight for many is the chance to observe and photograph the dazzling Marvelous Spatuletail, one of the world’s most extraordinary hummingbirds. But the region offers so much more — Long-whiskered Owlet, Lulu’s Tody-Flycatcher, Royal Sunangel, Chestnut-crested Cotinga, Andean Emerald, and countless other endemics await.
Blending birding, photography, and exploration, this tour captures the wild essence of Northern Peru — where the Andes meet the Amazon, and every trail holds the promise of discovery.
