The Cordillera Blanca (White Mountains) are an impressive range of snow-capped and glacier-riddled mountains some 200km north of Lima, a veritable Andean Switzerland. Popular amongst the adventure sports fraternity for the area’s excellent granite rock faces, we will remain rather more tethered to the ground. The surrounding peaks contain Nevado Huascarán, Peru’s highest peak at 6 768m (22 200 ft). Aside from the spectacular scenery, several range restricted species occur here, including the likes of White-cheeked Cotinga, Ancash Tapaculo, Giant Conebill, Great and Rufous-backed Inca Finches and Stripe-headed Antpitta endemic. We complement our extension by birding the coastal deserts for a host of endemics before returning to Lima.

What our clients say about us

Robert Williams
PM, Peru

Rob Williams is the best guide I have ever birded with - wonderful birding and people skills.

Forrest Rowland
PB, Peru 2018

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.

Robert Williams
SB - Peru

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.

Robert Williams
MK, Peru 2022

Successful and enjoyable. Rob proved his already high reputation. Special thanks to our driver Miguel - always helpful, always smiling.

Forrest Rowland
JB & KB, Peru 2018

This was an excellent tour! We saw so many great birds, and had many delicious meals from pizza to ceviche. The time spent birding and touring Kuelap was a highlight. To top everything off, Forrest Rowland is an awesome leader. In addition to hearing, seeing and getting everyone on the birds, he told wonderful stories and kept everyone laughing. All in all, we had a terrific time.
