Just in the department of Lima, more than 300 species of wild birds can be found.
The wetlands and coastal hills loma ecosistem, the Andean slopes and the sea, all of them near
the city can be discovered on one day or several days trip.
Here we propose three options for full day tours :
South Lima, Pucusana and Pantanos de Villa
Travel with us for a fabulous day. We will first go south to Pucusana Bay for a boat excursion around the Island,
where a colony of Humboldt penguins lives; In addition we will be able to spot and photograph sea birds, sea lions
and, if we are lucky, dolphins and sea otters!
Afterwards we return to Lima to visit the only protected natural area within Lima: the Villa wetlands. Located just 20 km
south of Lima city, Villa is a natural refuge for more than 100 species of resident and migratory birds!
At noon we will make a stop on the tour to have lunch at a restaurant near the Pantanos de Villa in Chorrillos.
