    Birding on Manu Road

    Jul 6–9, 2024 in Peru ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    We spent 4 days travelling to the east of the Andes from Cusco to visit the range of habitats from Cloud Forest to Bamboo Forest to Tropical Rain Forest.

    It was a long four days but we added another 132 lifers and also saw 3 new species of Monkey and other interesting wildlife.

    Our guide Simon was an indigenous Quechua and really knew the jungle. A joy to get to know him.

    The accommodation was basic and we were pretty much cut off from the outside world. We were very tired on our return to Cusco but a great experience.

    At one lodge we met a wild but friendly Toucan that seemed to enjoy coffee! (See video).
