This is a moderate to difficult tour. You should have a GOOD level of fitness, stamina & be in good health. Not suitable for dedicated or avid photographers; inexperienced birders; or anyone with mobility or health challenges.
Comfortable in Iquitos, rustic in the forest lodges with ‘natural temperature’ showers, no AC. Some lodges have generator power for restricted hours only (ie: not through the night).
Moderate to demanding. Bird density is low, primarily Amazonian Forest birding. Several difficult target species that may require repeat efforts.
Amazon River, canopy walkway
Worthwhile to difficult, typical rain forest conditions of variable light & fast-moving birds.
The tour was fantastic. Forrest Rowland, did a terrific job spotting birds, giving us clear directions to actually sight the birds and displayed plenty of patience in the process.
Rob Williams is the best guide I have ever birded with - wonderful birding and people skills.
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.
Successful and enjoyable. Rob proved his already high reputation. Special thanks to our driver Miguel - always helpful, always smiling.
Guides were awesome. Found lots of birds; guide was way too knowledgeable about the bird species and taxonomy.
