PERU BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS

With more than 1,900 bird species, Peru is one of the world’s most extraordinary destinations for bird photography, ranking second globally in bird species diversity.

From the Pacific Ocean and coastal desert to the high Andes, secluded Andean valleys, cloud forests and the Amazon rainforest, the country’s remarkable variety of landscapes offers an incredible diversity of photographic opportunities. Many of these habitats are home to endemic and near-endemic species, making Peru especially rewarding for photographers looking to capture unique and rarely seen birds.

Northern Peru is renowned for its extraordinary diversity of hummingbirds, while Central Peru, with its towering mountains and secluded Andean valleys, offers unique species and dramatic high-altitude settings. Further south, the spectacular Manu Road is one of South America’s finest routes for bird photography. As you travel from the Andes down towards the Amazon, the changing elevations and ecosystems bring a remarkable succession of habitats and bird species, offering an exceptional variety of subjects and photographic opportunities along a single route.
