Peru: Machu Picchu and Abra Malaga: Inca Culture, Condors and Endemics​

The last few decades have seen Machu Picchu grow to become one of the world’s most popular bucket list destinations. In this top-end hotel program, we give you a well-rounded tour that includes Machu Picchu and its history, the Inca culture, and some great birding at the Abra Malaga pass. Price is elevated because we stay at the best hotels for birders at Machu Picchu and Ollantaytambo – Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel and Pakaritampu. Both have ample beautiful gardens that attract many birds, and at Pueblo Hotel there are hummingbird and tanager feeders giving opportunity for great bird photography. This trip is just as exciting for the non-birding spouse or friend, as it is for the birder in the family.

Serious birders and photographers will have ample opportunity to connect with the region’s endemics and near endemics, of which many are not found on the famous Manu Road. Manu road could be added as an extension if you have more time.

Join us for a visit to one of the new 7 wonders of the world and add some special bucket list birds to your list such as Condor, Torrent Duck, and Andean Cock of the Rock, as well as many endemics of the region. The photography opportunities are excellent.

It is possible to lower the total cost by staying at alternative less expensive hotels. This could be especially attractive to single people who want to avoid the high single supplement.
