Peru Wildlife & Nature Expeditions FAQ
What iconic wildlife species can we see in Peru?
Peru's three distinct ecosystems offer extraordinary wildlife diversity: scarlet macaws, giant river otters, caimans, howler monkeys, and jaguars in the Tambopata Amazon Reserve; Andean condors, vicuñas, alpacas, and llamas in the Colca Canyon and Andes; and Humboldt penguins, South American sea lions, and Guanay cormorants at the Ballestas and Palomino Islands.
How do we combine the Amazon Rainforest with Cusco and Machu Picchu?
Puerto Maldonado (the gateway to the Tambopata Amazon Reserve) connects with Cusco via direct daily flights taking under 55 minutes, allowing you to transition effortlessly from a luxury rainforest eco-lodge to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.

When is the best time of year for wildlife viewing in Peru?
Wildlife viewing in Peru is rewarding year-round. The dry season (May to October) offers the best trail conditions in the Amazon and the highest macaw activity at clay licks, while December through April brings warm coastal sunshine and peak marine bird and sea lion activity along the Pacific.
