The Trainbearer Hummingbird Tour Peru with Wonders of Peru Expeditions is our most comprehensive birding expedition—an eleven-day journey across Peru’s coastal, highland, and cloud forest ecosystems. From the Pacific wetlands of Lima to the remote Amparaes Valley cloud forest, this tour covers more habitat diversity and bird species potential than any other itinerary we offer.
Peru hosts over 1,800 bird species and 119 endemics—the second-highest bird diversity of any country on Earth. This flagship tour is designed for serious birders who want to maximize their species count and experience Peru’s full ornithological spectrum. Named after the Trainbearer Hummingbird (Lesbia spp.)—both the Black-tailed and Green-tailed Trainbearer are found in the Cusco region—this tour targets 200+ species across five distinct birding zones.
This is Peru’s most comprehensive hummingbird-focused birding expedition. The itinerary includes the Amparaes Valley—a remote cloud forest not offered by any other tour operator—where tropical and Andean species overlap in one of the least-visited birding frontiers in South America. At $2,800 per person for 11 days, this represents outstanding value compared to international operators charging $4,000–$7,000+ for shorter tours.
