Try the CD's "Voices of Amazonia Birds Vol. 1-3" by Thomas Schulenberg et al produced by the Library of Natural Sounds at Cornell and available from the American Birding Association store.

It really depends on where you go in Peru, but http://www.xeno-canto.org/ suggested by Andrew is a good place to start, and has a more comprehensive coverage of Peruvian birds than any CD you can buy at present. The problem, of course, is that if you're leaving on a trip and aren't familiar with Neotropical birds, it can be quite a bit of work to figure out which voices may be of use and which may not. In that case, a CD can be better, but - as said - you really need to be a bit more specific then (e.g. the suggested "Voices of Amazonia Birds" is very good for the lowlands in south-eastern Peru, but of limited or no use elsewhere in Peru).

Like Rasmus said specific area is very important in a country like Peru that has incredible diversity and variety of habitats. CD's are good if you don't want the hassle of downloading files and there are CD collections for the montane regions of the Andes as well as the lowland Amazonia. I am not sure of any CD's that cover the Pacific slope or the Tumbesian region.
