“…Everything was fine and I had a wonderful day. The food was all I needed. I had the chance to have two guides”
Birding Abra Malaga One full Day
We are leaving every day at 5:00 am. from Cuzco, if you are staying at the Sacred Valley such as urubamba, Pisac or Ollantaytambo we can pick you up as well. Abra Malaga is one of the most visited habitats by Endemic Peru because this place harbors less than 5% of remaining Polylepis forest which is the atractive habitat for Royal Cinclodes (Cinclodes aricomae) a critically endangered birdspecie found between Peru and Bolivia only; Creamy-crested Spinetail (Cranioleuca albicapilla) Endemic to Peru; White-tufted sunbean (Agleactis castelnaudi) endemic to Peru; Rusty-fronted Canastero (Asthenes ottonis) endemic to Peru; Stripe-headed Antpitta (Grallaria andicola) endemic to Peru; among other species of birds in Puna habitat.
This is a pretty easy and short trip for watching birds in only one day.
We walk 3.5 miles with only 10% going up the trail and 90% going down the trail after this we keep going with our private car toward Ollantaytambo watching birds then straight to Cuzco
