I'll be visiting Peru with some birding buddies in August 2015.
I was once to Ecuador and on a lodge property where night monkeys had a well known roosting site. But since my lodge guide was more interested in girls, than birds it wasn't until the drive home that I found out. I was a bit furious back then...
Having searched the internet quite a bit and looking at the corresponding local bird checklists, I found out that I should definitely consider some of the following places.
Santa Eulalia Canyon
Carpich and Unchog forests
Marcopomacocha/Milloq
Ollantaytambo->Abra Malaga
Cock of the rock lodge (is it really as good as some birders say?)
Amazonia lodge (does it make sense in addition to the Cock of the Rock Lodge?)
Lago Junin
Lago Titicaca
Satipo Road
Islas Ballestas
What are the cultural sites you suggest I should not miss, seizing the opportunity of being in Perú?
Do you have any secret information, tips, ideas; concerning trips, accomodation, what to bring, etc.? I have three weeks in total, and I want to make sure my choice of places makes sense.
Muchas gracias!
