Tours confirmed por Small Groups in 2007
GranPeru Bird Tours’ fixed departures are carefully planned to explore the best of Peru’s birding sites. We are committed to fulfilling your birding expectations. First time visitors will find that we have spared no effort to give them the best combination of bird species. Those who have birded Peru before, will find our level of fine-grain knowledge of Peruvian birds to be unparalleled. Thus, we can offer you the best options for expanding your Peruvian bird list with greatest efficiency and comfort.
We recommend the following programs:
| Departure: 2007 - July 26th |
| (17 days/16 nights) From the Andes to the Manu lowlands. Imagine a trip that starts birding in the Machu Picchu ruins. Later you will descend the famous Manu Road through elfin and cloud forest to the Amazon lowlands. This route is known as the finest birding road in the world as no other route offers 1,000 species in so little space. In the lowlands we stay at the renowned Manu Wildlife Center, which features the world’s most visited macaw clay lick, a massive trail system, and multiple canopy platforms. |

| Departure: 2007 - August 12th & 22th |
| (11 days/10 nights) Manu Wildlife Center. This superb lodge is the single best birding location in the entire Amazon. It has a huge trail system (including bamboo!) with a scientifically-designed grid system of trails that allows you to follow mixed flocks and hear all singing males. The Center offers a comfy blind at an enormous parrot and macaw clay lick, two 130-foot-high (40 m) canopy platforms, mobile platforms at fruiting trees, and two oxbow lakes. Birding here is birding in Eden. Lots of birds, very uncomplicated logistics. |

Sandoval Lake and Pampas del Heath (12 days/11 nights)
We fly to Puerto Maldonado and bird lake and forest from the comfort of Sandoval Lake Lodge, the only lodge inside the Tambopata National Reserve. We then boat up the intimate Heath River to the Heath River Wildlife Center, which offers forest trails, the world’s most accessible large macaw and parrot lick (with Peach-fronted Parakeets!), and the very different birds of the pampas grasslands. A great combination of sites and habitats. |

| NORTHERN PERU ROUTE OF ENDEMISM |
| Departure: Contact Us |
(23 days/22 nights), This trip is a neo-tropical birders dream. The route taken is designed around some of the most endangered and localized birds to be found in the neo-tropics. The beauty of this trip is that, although centered around certain special birds, we see so much
of more widely distributed species on the way and tremendous scenery and places little visited by foreigners. Because many areas are isolated and no adequate accommodations are available, we will necessarily have to camp some nights. See note at the end of the Day by Day description. |
