REMAINING 2012 TOURS
The following tours scheduled for 2012 still have space:
Southern Ecuador: Jocotoco Reserves - June 23 - July 7, 2012. This tour visits and stays at several Jocotoco Foundation Reserves in Southern Ecuador. Some of the more fantastic birds we expect to see include Jocotoco Antpitta, Long-wattled Umbrellabird, and Andean Cock-of-the-Rock. This tour specializes on Tumbesian endemics found in Southern Ecuador and Northern Peru. We should see more than 500 species in the two weeks!. This year we will be going to Yankuam in the Cordillera de Condor in search of the very fancy (and rare) ORANGE-THROATED TANAGER!!! CONFIRMED - TWO SPACES LEFT.
Southeastern Peru: Manu National Park and Machu Picchu - August 11-27, 2012, with extension to Aug 30. This is the premier tour to Amazonian Peru. We begin with a transect down from Cusco to the Madre de Dios River, staying two nights at the pass at Wayquecha Lodge, followed by two nights at Cock-of-the-Rock Lodge. We then have two nights at wonderful Amazonia Lodge, three nights on the Rio Manu, followed by five nights at Manu Wildlife Center. The tour can be taken with a Machu Picchu extension. the tour and extension typically sees more than 600 species of birds, but more importantly visits some of the most pristine areas left in amazonia Peru. CONFIRMED - THREE SPACES LEFT
PANAMA 2013
Panama Canopy Tower and Canopy Lodge - March 31 - April 11, 2013. I have modified this tour to begin and end in Panama City, have six nights at the Canopy Tower and four nights at the Canopy Lodge. The birding at both these lodges is fantastic. We have seen Rufous-vented Ground-Cuckoo on the last two tours! At the Tower, we will visit famous Pipeline Road, and travel across the Gatun Locks to Achiote Road. At the Canopy Lodge, we'll visit the foothills for fantastic birds such as Snowcap. Panama is an excellent introduction to tropical birding!
