Birdwatching in Peru

Birding contacts and birdwatching information



Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. _____________________________________________________________ We want to hear about your experiences with Birdingpals.

		I was born in the rainforest of Peru and grew up observing, listening and learning the songs of birds and mammals. I now live between Puerto Maldonado & Cusco. I am widely regarded as one of the finest Peruvian bird guides. I cover most of my beloved Peru in my birdwatching trips, and I am familiar with the best hotspots for birds (Abra Patricia , Cajamarca , Santa Eulalia Canyon , Abra Malaga , Manu Road etc). My clients and friends tell me that I have truly remarkable field skills, and are impressed by my extensive knowledge of bird vocalizations. I can be contacted at anytime for any service, and I can help organize any birdwatching trip in Peru. For many years I have been working as a natural history rainforest Guide starting at the age of 18 at Tambopata National Reserve; I am now specialized in leading bird tours. Once I finished my degree in tourism, in 2010, I started to work mostly independently ... As one of a few Official Certificated guides from the Ministry of Tourism in Madre de Dios. My great passion for birds has taken me to Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, where I have also led birding groups at selected spots (Ecuador - Mindo Road, Brazil - northern Pantanal , Colombia - Santa Marta Mountain , Bolivia - road from la Paz to Cochabamba and Santa Cruz ). I speak intermediate/fluent English.		Area: Northern peru-carretera central, Satipo Road, Manu Road, Anywhere in Peru .. !! Area Birds: marvelous spatuletail, andean cock of the rock, harpy eagle, andean condor, etc.	Website: www.birdsofperutours.com
		Dorita	Valencia	Cuzco	Anytime	Spanish, English
		Doris Valencia from Cuscou. Im a license tour guide here in Cusco, specialize in birding, natural history and history and archaeology. I do tours in diferent natural areas of my country but certainly more often to birding spots around Cusco, Sacred Valley, Huacarpay Wetlands, Abra de Malaga, Machupicchu and the Manu National Park. I would like to be contacted anytime for any service, I dont do tours for free often, but could organize anything necesary for birders in my area from transportation, accomodation etc for really good prices. Lots of good birding spots are around Cusco including the best and famous archaeological sites both from the pre-inca and Inca. I have been fortunate to have birded with some excellent birders in North America. Doris's ear and identification skills are as good as anyone with whom I have birded. This is a daunting challenge because of Peru's 1800 plus bird list. I would totally trust Doris to arrange a trip for you that you will completely enjoy and never forget. Dave and Wendy Carter October 23, 2010 USA Doris is absolutely amazing at spotting and identifying birds. I came back with more than 150 life birds, including 17 hummingbirds and some rare birds, like the endangered Inca Wren. Manny Vara, January 2010, San Jose, California, USA I emphatically recommend Doris Valencia to anybody wanting to explore Peru. Doris is an enthusiastic and knowledgable guide and she is well versed in the cultural and natural history of her country. Her birding skills are top notch and she works hard to insure that all the participants gets to see them. Doris Valencia is one of the best guides that I have had the pleasure to work with. Our tour with her was excellent and we look forwards to working with her again. Dan van den Broek, Audubon Society of Portland. Trip Leader and Educator Set 2010
