Peru is one of the best countries in the world for birdwatching and nature photography, with amazing biodiversity; in addition, its culture and the good energy of its people make it a unique destination for our activity.

During this tour, we'll travel from Cusco along the Andean foothills to the cloud forests and Amazonian rainforests of the renowned Manu National Park. The Manu Road, which follows the park's boundaries, is one of South America's best spots for birdwatching and wildlife viewing. We'll visit several gardens with feeders, waterers, and hides, providing excellent opportunities to see birds such as the magnificent Andean Cock-of-the-rock, King Vulture, Golden-headed Quetzal, various tanagers, and hummingbirds, including the Rufous-Crested Coquette, Wire-crested Thorntail, and Booted Racket-tail.

One of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems awaits you for an unforgettable experience.
