Birds of Peru Tours

Birds of Peru Tours is run by Cesar Bollatty Bedregal and based in Puerto Maldonado in the Madre de Dios region — putting it on the doorstep of the Tambopata Reserve and the Manu cloud forest. The outfit offers customized birding and bird-photography itineraries across southern, central and northern Peru, and also brokers extensions into Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia and Bolivia for clients building longer South American trips. Testimonials from past clients emphasize Bollatty's field skills as a photography guide and his focus on logistics for small private parties. The company markets itself as conservation-oriented, with itineraries built around clay licks, oxbow lakes and lowland rainforest in the Madre de Dios as well as Andean and Tumbesian extensions.
