 *Nomenclature and taxonomic affinities are based on Clements 6th Edition published 2007 with updates through 2021 maintained by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, which relies largely on the AOU and SACC nomenclature committees. IUCN status may reflect splits not currently recognized by Clements.
**Species not accepted by Clements, AOU, or SACC that we recognize based on the IOC, field observations along with geographical separation, consensus opinions of field guide authors, and other sources. These species are potential splits in future Clements updates.

 

TOUR NOTES

Can be combined with any of our other Southeast Peru tours based out of Cusco including our extension to Machu Picchu and also our Manu Lowlands tour.

 

 

ACCOMMODATIONS

Accommodations are in ecolodges catering to birders throughout this tour. Cock-of-the-Rock is very nice and perfectly comfortable. The lodge at Wayqecha Biological Station has been renovated and is nicer than it once was, but it is still somewhat rustic and is reached by a rather steep path down from the road. The accommodations at Manu (formerly Villa Carmen) Biological Station are in double cabins with private bath and is perfectly comfortable.
