About hummingbirds

Peru is an Andean country. The Andes mountain range has created many climates and habitats. This has allowed many species in Peru to be unique and grow isolated. For example, we can find many species of metaltail and Thornbill.
On this trip we will go for the rarely seen hummingbirds that are found in the heights of the Andes.
