Birds of the Central High Andes (1-2 days)
During this trip we will reach altitudes of 8,500 feet in search of the Central Andes specialities. We will survey Andean bogs, streams and reservoirs with impressive turquoise-colored waters. Within the ravines and rocky slopes we will look for the endemic Crag Chilia and several other Andean species including the Rufous-banded Miner, White-sided Hillstar, Yellow-rumped Siskin, Greater Yellow-finch and Black-winged Ground-dove. Bogs and grassy areas are good habitats for the stunning Diademed Sandpiper-plover and several Ground-tyrant and Cinclodes species. Andean clear-water streams are the ideal habitat for the amazing Torrent Ducks. This trip won’t be complete if we don’t at least glimpse majestic Andean Condors soaring over the snowy Andean heights.
