Extensions to our fixed tours
Those with more appetite for birds and/or other interests such
as archaeology, can choose from these interesting add-ons and
extensions:
Pantanos de Villa: A heaven for migratory species,
this attractive wetland is home to over 150 bird species and is
only a 30 minute drive from the hotel district of Lima –
an excellent way to spend a morning or afternoon in Lima. It's
included when time allows in all of our tours.
Paracas: also known as the little Galapagos.
A two day trip offers most Peruvian seabirds surrounded by sea
mammals and other marine life. A pelagic trip to the near continental
shelf adds several prized species to the list!
Machu Picchu: The most famous archaeological
destination in the Americas (and voted by the readers of Conde
Nast Traveler as the world’s top monument for overall experience)
is becoming increasingly popular as a full-fledged birding destination.
This site is included only in our Biotrip, but can be an extension
to all of them.
Chachapoyas: A trip to this archaeology-rich
region of Peru’s northern Andes (with a walled citadel that
rivals Machu Picchu for shear majesty) offers a wealth of unique
bird species, including the Marvelous Spatuletail.
Custom-made Trips:
Thomas Valqui relishes planning custom trips for specific birding
needs. Whatever your request, Thomas will know the bird, the site,
and the local logistics.
