Birdwatching in Peru




Peru is one of the best countries in the world for bird watching: It harbors over 1800 species of birds and with more than 85% of them being all-time residents. It is second only to Brazil in number of endemic birds and second only to the "islands" of Indonesia in the number of species with restricted geographical ranges(as defined by Birdlife).

Some lodges in the Peruvian eastern lowlands offer excellent diversity and rarity in bird watching: several with over 550 species!

In 1982 a team of birders in southeastern Peru, broke a world record, with 331 species of birds in a single day without the use of motorized vehicles, all within paddling and walking distance.
