Venturing into “The Bird Continent” of South America we can offer a very original itinerary for Venezuela. We’ll start in the Llanos, famous for its wealth of wetland bird species before heading south to the forests of Imataca – surely one of the best places to see that most enigmatic of all Neotropical birds, the magnificent Harpy Eagle. We finish our tour birding Sierra de Lema and the Gran Sabana so join us to find out why some of the participants on our latest tour considered La Escalera the best South American birding road! Next tour VENEZUELA: THE LLANOS, HARPY EAGLE AND TEPUI ENDEMICS. A tour bringing together Venezuela’s most rewarding birding ecosystems. We’ll start in the Llanos with the huge concentrations of waterbirds before heading to the forests of Imataca – one of the most reliable sites in the Americas for Harpy Eagle. |

General info: Venezuela is epic in proportion: it boasts South America's largest lake and third-longest river, the highest waterfall in the world, the longest of all snakes, and some of the most spectacular landscapes you'll ever see. There are the snowcapped peaks of the Andes in the west; steamy Amazonian jungles in the south; the hauntingly beautiful Gran Sabana plateau, with its strange flat-topped mountains, in the east; and miles of white-sand beaches fringed with coconut palms on the Caribbean coast.
Species recorded during the 2007 tour include: Harpy Eagle, Bearded Bellbird, White Bellbird, Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock, Red-banded Fruiteater, Rose-collared Piha, Cappuchinbird, Scarlet-horned Manakin, Olive Manakin, Crimson Topaz, Velvet-browed Brilliant, Black-throated Antshrike, Streak-backed Antshrike and Red-and-Black Grosbeak.
