This Signature Trip lets you visit an exciting new destination, but still spend your vacation doing what you love. Book your whirlwind birdwatching getaway in Peru, now!
Why take your next vacation in Peru?
From walking in the footsteps of the ancients to internationally award-winning cuisine, Peru is a vibrant mix of old and new. Ruins are found all over the country, while the cosmopolitan city of Lima offers modernity in spades. Meanwhile, colorful wildlife is at home in the mountains and jungles.
The absolute highlight of this trip will be…
Birdwatching in Huacarpay Lagoon. Although your trips to Paracas National Reserve and the Ballestas Islands will offer a chance of spotting birds, Huacarpay Lagoon lets you start your day doing what you love the most. It's also one of your best dedicated birding opportunities.

Places you'll stay
Lima
The coastal city of Lima is diverse, with colorful parks, friendly locals, tasty cuisine, vibrant markets, and ancient historical attractions. Travelers can tour world-class museums, wander through the colonial architecture of Miraflores, and eat seafood along the Pacific coast.
Destination
Iquitos
Iquitos is a city in Peru’s northeastern Amazon. It’s been on the tourism scene since the 1960s and has well-established services for travelers. You can also visit Iquitos year-round, which isn’t always possible in other parts of the Amazon.
Destination
Cusco
Nestling in the dip of the Watanay River Valley, from above the city of Cusco takes the shape of a puma, which some historians theorize was a purposeful design. As the city expands, its borders creep up the sides of the surrounding mountains, but puma statues, fountains, and signs keep the big cat’s status of unofficial city mascot.
Destination
Aguas Calientes
Aguas Calientes is the closest town to Machu Picchu. Staying here for a night or two will give you intimate access to this incredible Inca site.
Destination
Puerto Maldonado
Puerto Maldonado is a small town in the southern Peruvian Amazon that’s just a half-hour plane ride from Cusco. The nearby lodges offer travelers an accessible and affordable experience in the Amazon.
Destination
Paracas
The word Paracas means "rain of sand," named after the sandstorms found in this coastal part of Peru. Hidden beneath the sand is a rich history that merits The Paracas National Reserve, a marine wildlife and historical destination.
Destination
Moments to look forward to
Paracas National Reserve
The Paracas National Reserve protects some 827,800 acres (335,000 ha) of the Paracas peninsula. It’s Peru’s largest continuous protected coastline.
Attraction
Ballestas Islands
The Ballestas Islands have been called the “poor man’s Galapagos,” though the islands are impressive enough to be more accurately considered “the mini-Galapagos of Peru.” Exploring them by boat will give visitors the chance to see over 160 different species of marine birds and the islands’ famous sea lions.
