Introduction
For this trip we adopted a more-or-less standard tinerary for the Limaand Cuzcoareas. We started with a couple of days at the coast, including a visit to the Ballestas Islands, a few days in the Andes above Lima in search of Diademed Sandpiper-plover and other high Andean specialities, a nine-day trip down the Manu Road to the Amazon, and a few days in the vicinity of Cuzco visiting Abra Malaga and Machu Picchu. Having been to Ecuadorwe were not expecting to see more than a hundred new species during this 24-day trip. However, due to the assistance of some excellent guides, largely favourable weather and a little luck, we managed to see 560 species in total of which more than 200 were new to us.
We arranged our trip through Tanager Tours (www.tanagertours.com) at a cost US$ 2250 each for a 15-day tour of the Santa Eulalia Valley, Manu Road, two Amazon lodges and Abra Malaga. This included transport, accommodation, food and, for the Manu and Amazon section, the assistance of a guide. This price also included accommodation used independently during our stays in Limaand Pisco. Accompanying us on our tour were our driver Juvenal (Juve) Ccahuana, who has a detailed knowledge of the key birds sites as well as excellent birding know-how, and Frank Lambert, a British birder with years of experience of birding in -South America-and Peruin particular and an impressive knowledge of bird calls.
We flew to Limawith KLM from Heathrow via Amsterdamand a brief stop at Bonairefor £617 including taxes. Whilst at Limawe stayed at the comfortable Mami Panchita hostel for $28/double including breakfast (0051-1 2630749). The management at the hostel also run a local travel agency and they gave us much assistance with travel arrangements during our stay.
Pisco – Paracas
We travelled by bus from Lima to Pisco (tickets from Lima arranged for us by the staff at Mami Panchita), a journey of about 3 hours direct on the ‘Royal’ class express service. Whilst at Pisco we stayed at the Hostal La Portada for US$30/double including breakfast. We arranged a tour of the BallestasIslandswith the local tour agents ‘Los Amigos’ based in the Plaza de Almas. This included transport to Paracas and a 2-hour tour of the islands in a speedboat. Los Amigos quickly established that we were birders and ensured that we were accompanied by their bird-guide Manuel. This proved fortunate as Manuel knew his stuff and gave us some invaluable information on the location of Slender-billed Finch.
During our visit to Paracas we saw thousands of Peruvian Boobies and Guanay Cormorants nesting on the islands, along with smaller numbers of Peruvian Pelicans, Red-legged Cormorants, Inca Terns and a handful of Humboldt Penguins. We also managed to see Peruvian Seaside Cinclodes hopping amongst the boulders on the rocky shoreline of the islands. Back at Paracas we saw two Peruvian Terns feeding over the harbour along with several Elegant Terns. There was also a good variety of gulls and waders on the beach between the harbour and the Hotel Paracas.
Following advice from Manuel we spent the late afternoon birding an area of olive groves at a farm called ‘Huerto Alamein’. This is on the right side (west) of the -Pan-American Highway-about 20 minutes south of Pisco. We found at least two Slender-billed Finches almost immediately on entering the nearest olive grove. They were fairly skulky, keeping to the canopy of the larger trees, and constantly making a very thin, high ‘tssp’ contact call. Other species seen in this area were Coastal Miner, Short-tailed Field-tyrant and Cinerous Conebill. Peruvian Thick-knee also occurs here though we only saw footprints on the dusty tracks.
The following day we walked to the coast adjacent to Pisco (follow the Calle San Martin from town – about 20 minutes from La Portada). An area of lagoons and sandy beaches around the river mouth provided some good and relatively undisturbed birding habitat where we saw Puna Ibis, Peruvian Tern, Yellowish Pipit and a great variety of waders and herons in a couple of hours’ birding. Those with more time and the inclination could walk further north from here to ‘Pisco marshes’ where Dark-faced Ground-tyrant has been recorded.
Santa Eulalia Valley – Marcapomacocha – Milloc Bog
After Pisco we returned to Limaand, the following morning, met Juve our driver and guide for the next fifteen days. Our first stop was at an area of arid coastal habitat with lagoons near Pucusana, a few kilometres south of Lima. Here we saw a range of coastal arid grassland species including a group of Peruvian Thick-knees, Coastal Miners and Parrot-billed Seedeaters. On some nearby lagoons we saw Great Grebe, White-cheeked Pintail, Cinnamon Teal, Many-coloured Rush-tyrant and Wren-like Rushbird. We then headed off inland from Limato the resort town of Chosicaand, after a brief lunch, headed into the semi-cultivated, arid scrub and grasslands of the Santa Eulalia Valley. As we gradually made our way up the valley towards our evening destination at San Pedro de Casta we saw many of the special species of these arid hills including Bare-eyed Ground-dove, Mountain Parakeet, Black-necked Woodpecker, Bronze-tailed Comet, Andean Swift, Black-crested, Pied-crested and Yellow-billed Tit-tyrants, Rusty-crowned Tit-spinetail, Rusty-bellied Brush-finch and Great Inca-finch. We stayed overnight in the basic Hostal Marcahuasi ($3/double).
An early departure the following day took us higher into the surrounding hills, travelling on steep dirt tracks across precipitous hillsides. Despite a rather slow start in the cold early morning air we gradually notched up a good list of higher elevation specialities, including Andean Tinamou, Puna Hawk, Black-winged Ground-dove, Black Metaltail, Black-breasted Hillstar, Giant Hummingbird, Canyon Canastero, Plain-breasted Earthcreeper, Rufous-naped Ground-tyrant, D’Orbigny’s Chat-tyrant, Yellow-rumped Siskin, Rufous-breasted Warbling-finch, Peruvian Sierra-finch and Greenish Yellowfinch. In an area of Polylepis forest, an exhausting two-hour walk up a steep gorge at around 4,000 metres, we also saw several Andean Condors, Mountain Caracara, Tit-like Dacnis and Giant Conebill. We camped overnight at the bottom of the gorge and were thankful for our double mattresses and down-filled sleeping bags as the temperatures plummeted with nightfall.
We made an early start in the morning to bird the Polylepis (only an hour to reach it this time after some acclimatization to the altitude) in search of the endemic White-cheeked Cotinga. This proved fruitless, despite the best efforts of Juve, and we later learnt from Frank that there are very few Cotingas in this area and that, as a consequence, they are rarely seen here. Apparently a better site exists further up the La Oroya road, which requires a two-day round-trip, a long hike and camping. Quickly coming to terms with our dip, we continued our journey towards Marcapomacocha, stopping on route to see Andean Duck, Andean Goose, Giant Coot, Junin and Stripe-throated Canasteros, Striated Earthcreeper, Stripe-headed Antpitta, White-winged Diuca-finch, Bright-rumped Yellow-finch and Black Siskin.
Eventually arriving at the bog at Marcapomacocha we failed to find the Sandpiper-plover, perhaps because the bog was too dry at the end of the dry season. We were also dismayed to see that large areas of peat had been removed from the bog, apparently to support the mushroom-growing industry in Lima. Although there was no sign of the target species, we did see White-bellied Cinclodes, itself a sought-for species, as well as White-fronted and Puna Ground-tyrants. We then moved on to the nearby alternative DSP site at Milloc Bog. Again this area appeared rather desiccated and there were depressing signs of further peat removal. However, much to our relief we eventually found two Diademed Sandpiper-plovers feeding in an area of short, wet turf on the edge of the bog. Juve considers these birds to have become more wary and less approachable over recent years, perhaps as a result of increased disturbance by birders and peat diggers. Those visiting the site in future would do well to bring a scope and attempt to observe the birds from a distance, thus reducing the potential for disturbance. Having seen the target bird we made our way back to Limadown the sealed La Oroya highway, stopping briefly to see Dark-winged Miner on the way.
Cuzco– Lago Huacarpay
We flew to Cuzcoon Aero Continente (US$80/person) and checked-in at the friendly Hotel Marani (US$30/double excluding breakfast). In the afternoon we met our guide Frank and another birder Paul (he and his partner Jalscha were to join us on the Manu trip) and were taken by Juve to the nearby Lago Huacarpay. Here we searched for two endemic species in particular, quickly finding Bearded Mountaineer and eventually tracking down the rather more elusive Rusty-fronted Canastero. Other notable species seen here were Andean Tinamou, Puna Ibis, Puna Teal, Green-tailed Trainbearer, Black-throated Flowerpiercer, Golden-billed Saltator and Yellow-winged Blackbird.
Upper Manu Road
While on the Manu Road, before and after visiting the Amazonian lodges, we spent time birding the higher elevation sections between Huambutiyo and Paucartambo, the cloud and elfin forests above and below Pillahuata, and the lower elevation forests above and below the Cock-of-the-rock Lodge. At the higher elevations we again saw Bearded Mountaineer and Rusty-fronted Canastero, along with more Andean Tinamous, Andean Flicker, Cordilleran Canastero, Slender-billed Miner and Chestnut-breasted Mountain-finch. On reaching the first areas of cloud-forest beyond Paucartambo we also made a quick stop for Creamy-crested Spinetail.
We had two opportunities to bird the higher elevation cloud and elfin forest above and below Pillahuata, once on the way down the hill and again on our return. Although we had limited time in this habitat, and despite prolonged and heavy rain on our return journey, we found some good birds here. On the way down we saw Violet-throated Starfrontlet, Mountain Cacique and Maroon-chested Chat-tyrant, along with a range of tanagers and good views of a Grey-breasted Mountain-toucan. The more notable species seen on our return included Golden-headed Quetzal, Masked Trogon, Barred Fruiteater, Black-throated Tody-tyrant, Ochre-faced Tody-flycatcher and White-collared Jay. We heard many antpittas, including Rufous and Red-and-white, and eventually succeeded in taping one of the latter into view.
Lower Manu Road
The lower elevations of the Manu Road, below the Cloud Forest Lodge, were especially productive. We stayed at the Cock-of-the-Rock Lodge and while there we saw White-bellied Woodstar, Wire-crested Thorntail, Many-spotted Hummingbird, Violet-fronted Brilliant and Olivaceous Siskin in the grounds. On the road immediately above the Lodge we saw a good range of tanagers as well as Stripe-chested Antwren and Black-striped Puffbird. We also taped a Slaty Gnateater into view just below the entrance to the Cock-of-the Rock lekking area. We spent some time on the small trail in the Lodge’s grounds and our patience was eventually rewarded with good views of Yungas Manakins. Other birds seen here were White-throated Quail-dove, Versicoloured Barbet and, of course, Andean Cock-of-the-Rock.
Higher up the road, up to and just beyond the Cloud Forest Lodge, we found Highland Motmot, Ashy-browed Spinetail, Yellow-rumped Antwren, Bolivian Tyrannulet, a pair of nest-building Barred Becards, Grey-mantled Wren, White-eared Solitaire and Dusky Green Oropendola. An evening visit was particularly memorable, with Rufescent Screech Owl and Rufous-bellied Nighthawk on show and, to cap it all, excellent views of a stunning Lyre-tailed Nightjar. Birding the section below the Cock-of-the-rock we eventually caught up with the Black-backed Tody-flycatcher along with Cabani’s Spinetail, Cinnamon-faced Tyrannulet, Two-banded Warbler and Golden-bellied Warbler. Also seen on this section, and undoubtedly one of the most unexpected birds of the trip as well as a lifer for our guide Juve, was a Pavonine Cuckoo.
Amazonia-Lodge
Although we only had one night at this lodge, we made the most of our visit, birding in the late afternoon on our arrival and again in the morning. Amazonia Lodge differs from Pantiacolla in that it lies in an area of wet inundation forest with oxbow lakes. Our first birding session here gave us another flush of ticks, including Speckled Chachalaca, Golden-tailed Sapphire, a male Rufous-crested Coquette (feeding on flowering shrubs in the grounds), Yellow-breasted Antwren and Black-and-white Seedeater. One of the staff also took us a short distance to see a Grey Potoo brooding a chick whilst perched stick-like on its nest. The following morning we checked out the trails around the lodge. The trail alongside the oxbow lake and in the wetter forest was especially rewarding, giving views of Hoatzins and Goeldi’s, Grey, Black-throated, Silvered and Band-tailed Antbirds. We also saw Variegated Flycatcher, Hauxwell’s Thrush, Pygmy Antwren and, in a mixed species flock, Rufous-tailed Xenops and Rufous-breasted Piculet.
Pantiacolla Lodge
Pantiacolla is in terra firme forest and we spent three full days exploring its extensive network of trails. We found the Bamboo Trail to be particularly productive, eventually achieving views of a range of bamboo specialists including Rufous-headed Woodpecker, Dusky-cheeked or Bamboo Foliage-gleaner, Manu, White-lined and Bamboo Antbirds and White-cheeked Tody-tyrant. Other species seen in this area were White-bearded Hermit, Elegant Woodcreeper, Chestnut-winged Foliage-gleaner, Tawny-throated Leaftosser, Warbling, Scale-backed and Chestnut-tailed Antbirds, Ihering’s Antwren, Johanne’s Tody-tyrant, Round-tailed and Band-tailed Manakins, Dwarf Tyrant-manakin and Amazonian Oropendola. One of the star birds of our stay here was White-winged Trumpeter, which we found to be remarkably confiding. We saw two groups (which were probably of the same individuals) on separate days, at least one of which seemed to be associating either with an antswarm or with a group of peccaries, or perhaps both.
Another rewarding area at Pantiacolla was the system of loop trails behind the Lodge. Here, over several visits, we found Brown-mandibled Aracari, Striolated Puffbird, White-faced Nunbird, Spot-winged Antshrike, White-throated Antbird, Chestnut-winged Hookbill, Large-headed Flatbill, Whiskered Flycatcher, Greyish Mourner, Wing-barred Piprites and Musician Wren. The occasional mixed species feeding-party provided the usual colourful array of tanagers, along with Black-spotted (or Gilded) Barbet, White-throated Woodpecker, Cinnamon-throated Woodcreeper, Purple-throated Fruitcrow and Yellow-crested and Carmiol’s Tanagers. We eventually found a modest antswarm on this trail with the attendant obligate antbirds Sooty Antbird and Black-spotted Bare-eye. Other notable species seen elsewhere at Pantiacolla included Blackish Antbird and Amazonian Antpitta (from the riverside trail), White-eyed Antwren, Fiery-capped Manakin and Yellow-crested Tanager (along the first part of the trail to the mirador) and Rufous and Broad-billed Motmots. A visit to the nearby clay-lick by boat was disappointing (perhaps because of earlier rain and low cloud) though we did see five Blue-headed Macaws and a Little Ground-tyrant.
Abra Malaga
We travelled to Abra Malaga from Ollantaytambo (Hostal Munay Tika) in the company of Juve and Frank and quickly found several White-tufted Sunbeams above the ruins on route from Ollantaytambo. As we ascended the winding road up to the pass we made a brief stop to view another Junin Canastero. On reaching the pass we had an exhausting walk up to a ridge before descending a steep valley side where we aimed for the remnant Polylepis forest clinging to the most inaccessible parts of the hillside. Here we quickly found Tawny Tit-spinetail and the endangered White-browed Tit-spinetail and Ashy-breasted Tit-tyrant. Other species seen here were Stripe-headed Antpitta, Puno Tapaculo, Rufous-webbed Tyrant and Thick-billed Siskin. Frank also caught a glimpse of a suspected Royal Cinclodes, though could not confirm this identification or relocate the bird.
In the elfin forest on the west side of the pass we found little bird activity until, towards the end of the afternoon, a superb mixed species flock moved across the road and provided nearly all the sought for species in a hectic fifteen minute period. These included Coppery-naped Puffleg, Marcapata Spinetail, Ochraceous-breasted Flycatcher, Parodi’s, Drab and Three-striped Hemispinguses, Golden-collared Tanager, Pale-legged Warbler and an unexpected Peruvian Chat-tyrant. The following morning, after an interesting overnight stay in a shack behind a police checkpoint a bit further down the hill, we began by taping a Rufous Antpitta into view as well as a pair of Inca Wrens just below the checkpoint. We also found a small bird flock with Rust-and-yellow Tanager, Rufous-chested Tanager, Unstreaked Tit-tyrant and Plushcap.
Best of all, and literally just across the road from the checkpoint, we found two -Cusco-Brush-finches quietly feeding at the forest edge. Other species seen on our way back up the hill were White-browed Conebill and Puna Thistletail, along with at least one possible but sadly unconfirmed female Scaled Metaltail.
Given our good luck with the elfin forest species we decided to try again for the Royal Cinclodes, following up Frank’s hunch that the bird he saw the day before was that species and that it might return to the same spot. Our efforts were rewarded, with Frank obtaining yet another brief view of the bird, this time seen to fly up to a rock face above the Polylepis. We found a reasonable vantage point and waited for the bird to reappear. We did not have to wait long and after a few minutes we noticed a bird feeding under some open Polylepis trees a few metres away. It was immediately obvious that we were looking at a Royal Cinclodes, quietly pulling up thick carpets of moss in search of invertebrates. There is thought to be only one pair of birds in this area of Polylepis so we certainly considered ourselves fortunate and were very thankful that we had made the effort to return.
Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu
We booked return train tickets, entrance tickets to Machu Picchuand an overnight at the Hostal Rupa Wasi in Aguas Calientes through Inca’s Connection (Avenida del Sol 345, -Cusco-, tel 260037). We caught the train to Aguas Calientes from Ollantaytambo, enjoying views of Torrent Ducks on the river on the way. While at Aguas Calientes we birded several areas: the grounds of the expensive Hotel Pueblo; along the road to Machu Picchustation; and along the railway beyond the station. The Hotel Pueblo was reasonably productive and, along with the usual array of tanagers, we saw Chestnut-breasted Coronets on the feeders and Green-and-white Hummingbirds in the treetops. Birding along the road and railway in the late afternoon we saw Mitred Parakeet, Highland Motmot, more Green-and-white Hummingbirds amongst others and, near the museum, Ocellated Piculet.
We caught the first bus up to Machu Picchuthe following morning and managed to see the ruins before the crowds (and clouds) arrived. Although many Inca Wrens were heard none were seen, and this is probably a difficult species here without the assistance of a tape. We chose to walk down the trail from the summit to the river (about 45 minutes according to the signs) and found this to be a very productive area, despite the onset of heavy rain halfway down. The most notable species seen here were Sclater’s Tyrannulet (with its distinctive unflycatcher-like call) White-winged Black-tyrant, White-eared Solitaire and a stunning Masked Fruiteater.
Lomas de Lachay
On our return to Limawe organised a day-trip from the Mami Panchita with a local driver Luis (known as Lucho to the hostal management) for $10/hour. Luis spoke good English and, most importantly, knew how to find the reserve. We left Limaat 6.00 and arrived at Lomas de Lachay at about 7.30. We birded here for about seven hours, initially in light fog and later in burning sunshine. Oasis Hummingbirds were abundant though, strangely, there was no sign of the other sought after hummers. However, we did see plenty of Thick-billed Miners from the mirador and the trail leading up to the ridge, many with young and often singing and displaying conspicuously. We also saw at least a couple of hundred Raimondi’s Yellowfinches bathing and preening at a natural pool on this same trail, along with many ground doves and a flock of Mountain Parakeets. Small flocks of Greyish Miners on the ridge were also a welcome surprise, though we dipped on Cactus Canastero on the treacherously steep and slippery slopes below the ridge.
Pantanos de Villa
We spent a couple of hours at this wetland reserve on the outskirts of Limaon our final day. This is a good site for any wetland birds that might have been missed elsewhere, and new species for our trip were Yellow-crowned Night-heron, Least Bittern, Plumbeous Rail and Franklin’s Gull.
