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 water birds before heading to the forests of Imataca – one of the most reliable sites in the Americas for Harpy Eagle. The conclusion of the tour finds us in the southeast birding one of the continent’s best birding roads: La Escalera. Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock, White and Bearded Bellbirds, Red-banded Fruiteater, Peacock Coquette, Crimson Topaz, Capuchinbird and Rose-collared Piha are just a few of the spectacular species we encountered here on our 2007 departure. |
