A 4-day Cusco bird watching tour that combines nature watching, culture and gastronomy in the Cusco area. This moderately paced trip, that is available on request, takes in the Huacarpay wetlands, Balcón del Diablo, Ensifera Camp hummingbird garden and the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu.

Most people come to Cusco in order to visit Machu Picchu. Not many know that the Cusco region is also one of the best destinations in the world for birdwatching. According to Cornell Lab of Ornithology's ebird.org website, there are more than 1,000 bird species that can be seen in this region. One reason for this is the fact that the Cusco area varies in altitude from 530m above sea level to 3,680m. This huge range promotes a great diversity of species for Cusco bird watching, as does the area's unique geographical location, close to the Equator and nestled in the mighty Andes mountain range.
