Amazon wildlife photo tour

AMAZON BIRDS AND WILDLIFE PERU

July 17-27, 2021

Photo Tour: This photo tour visits 4 different lodges in the Tambopota Amazon region of Peru.  The biodiversity in the area is amazing.  Some of the highlights include the Chuncho Parrot and Macaw clay lick where 3 large species of Macaw can usually be photographed on the same morning, many primates including the amazing Emperor Tamarin, a lodge which has hummingbird feeders which attract difficult species like the Pale-tailed Barbthroat and the extraordinary Hoatzin.  The jungle lodges on this tour are somewhat basic compared to most of the places we stay.  They were chosen for their proximity to good photo opportunities.  This tour is moderate in terms of physical difficulty.  There is much to photograph right around the lodges but some of the best photo opportunities require some walking.  This tour can be combined with our Machu Picchu trip which runs from July 10-16. Peru Photo Tour.

Tour Leaders and Guides: Ken Archer and Jose Avendano.   Ken and Jose Luis will help you get amazing images.   Ken is an award winning photographer who will help you with instruction.  Jose Luis is a top notch bird photography guide who has been guiding all over Peru for the past 10 years.
