Sunrise Birding LLC - Birding and Wildlife ToursPERU: Manu Road
Scouting Trip, October 2019

Contact gina@sunrisebirding.com about future tours!

In October 2019, Gina and Steve were invited to tour the lodges of the Amazon Conservation Association with an eye to developing birding tours along the world famous Manu Road.  We found the lodges to be very comfortable, the local guides amazing, and surrounding habitats to be more accessible than ever and full of birds!  Thank you to James Adams and the ACA for this incredible opportunity. Stay tuned for a new Southern Peru tour to include the world famous Manu Road and the Macaw clay licks of Tambopata with an extension to Machu Picchu!
