We complete our series of tours by visiting several Incan archaeological sites, which also includes some very interesting birding. Starting in the Incan Capital of Cusco, we explore the Sacred Valley and other Incan heritage sites covering Sacsayhuaman, Qenko, Pisac, Moray, Lago Huaypo, Ollantaytambo and perhaps the most famous tourist site in the world, Machu Picchu. We also have very good opportunities of finding the localised endemic, Inca Wren, alongside other avian treats, including Chestnut-breasted Mountain Finch, Bearded Mountaineer, and Parodi’s Hemispingus.
Inca Wren; Bearded Mountaineer; Green-and-white & Giant Hummingbirds; Creamy-crested Spinetail; Chestnut-breasted Mountain Finch; Long-tailed Sylph; Torrent Duck; White-capped Dipper; White-eared Solitaire; Sclater’s & Bolivian Tyrannulets; Silver-backed Tanager; Oleaginous & Parodi's Hemispinguses; Capped Conebill; Cinnamon & Puna Teals; Yellow-winged Blackbird; Many-colored Rush Tyrant; Bare-faced Ground Dove; Andean Flicker; Peruvian Sierra Finch; Hooded Siskin; Band-tailed Seedeater.

Forrest Rowland is a terrific guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the birds we encountered on our trip. Further, he is very friendly, engaging and enthusiastic. I’d be quite pleased to join him again on any birding tour in the Neotropics.
Our guide, Rob Williams, was exceptionally well qualified, good humoured in all circumstances and remarkably diligent in accommodating all levels of birding skills within our group. He went out of his way to make sure that each member of the group realised their expectations for the trip. We would welcome the opportunity to join him on additional trips; he is a quality individual with sound values and a superb representative of Rockjumper Birding Tours.
Rob Williams is right up there among the very best tour leaders. His vast experience from lots of research and conservation projects and intimate knowledge of the country add lots of value compared to a tour leader who is "just" a good organiser, birder and guide. He is also great company, with a sublime sense of humour.
It is terrific to have a bilingual guide in any country and one who knows the history and culture of the country is even better, thanks Rob! As always, terrific eyes, ears and birding skills.
Rob Williams is the best guide I have ever birded with - wonderful birding and people skills.
