Northern Peru offers perhaps the most diverse birding route on earth, spanning Tumbesian dry forests, arid Marañón valleys, and humid Andean cloud forests to the Amazon lowlands. Key highlights include searching for the White-winged Guan, the spectacular Marvelous Spatuletail, the elusive Long-whiskered Owlet and Rufous-capped Thornbills. The region is a hotspot for endemics, including the Royal Sunangel, Rusty-tinged Antpitta, and White-masked Antbird. This route provides unmatched species diversity, blending high-altitude birding with rich hummingbird and tanager viewing in the region’s cloud forests.
