ITINERARY:
Day 1: Birds of Bosque de Pómac and the Peruvian Plantcutter
Upon your arrival at Chiclayo airport, we will immediately transfer to the fantastic Bosque de Pómac National Sanctuary, where we will search for the endemic and very particular Peruvian Plantcutter, as well as other endemic birds of North Peru.
The Lambayeque region is well known among Peruvians for offering some of the best regional cuisine in Peru, based on seafood, beans, pumpkins, and other ingredients that have been cultivated for over 5000 years.
After a special lunch (not included), we will visit one of the best museums in Peru and the world: “The Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum” that offers one of the finest displays of pre-Columbian Peruvian art, highlighting the wealth of the Lord of Sipán, an ancient leader of the Mochica culture. After a journey through the history of northern Peru, we will have the rest of the afternoon free.
Day 2: Chaparri Private Conservation Area
Full-day Chaparri Tour, a unique bird sanctuary. This is the first private conservation area in the country, where we will be able to search for endemic birds of North Peru at different altitudes of the Peruvian Dry Forest, and especially the White Winged Guan, a bird once thought extinct that now lives protected in this Private Conservation Area.
In the evening, we will take the night bus to the equatorial city of Tumbes. The journey will take 7-8 hours in a very comfortable bus.
Day 3: The cradle of the Tumbesian endemic region
Upon our arrival in the warm northern city of Tumbes, the cradle of the Tumbesian endemic region, we will transfer to the selected hotel to leave our belongings.
