The Bird Photography Tour in Northeast Peru
3 min read

We at Birds of Peru Tours offer international Birding Tours as bird photography travel trips to bird lovers. The goal is to find and photograph various wildlife species, particularly endemic bird species.

We will concentrate on the distinctive Peruvian bird species located in the eastern foothills of the Andes. It offers some of the best opportunities for bird photography in the Neo-tropics and is one of the most diversified sites for birding.

Additionally, numerous private preserves in North Peru have recently produced excellent hummingbird and tanager photography opportunities for bird photographers, particularly in the Alto Mayo and Huallaga Valleys.
