Testimonies

“We had an absolutely incredible day—everything came together perfectly. The food was exactly what we were hoping for, and we felt truly fortunate to be guided by two knowledgeable and attentive experts.”

Ross & Anne Thompson

**“This was truly one of the highlights of our trip! We absolutely loved our tour with David and Ciro. David’s deep knowledge of the birds made every stop exciting and rewarding, and Ceero made us feel completely safe and well taken care of throughout the journey.

The food was fantastic—delicious meals and snacks that kept us energized for the day—and every location we visited was breathtaking. We even got to learn about other wildlife, including wild guinea pigs, and connect with local Peruvians as we traveled through the stunning Andes.

This experience goes far beyond birdwatching—it’s an unforgettable journey into nature, culture, and the heart of Peru. Highly recommended!”**

Amanda Shafer

“David, our guide, was outstanding—his expertise truly made the difference, and we were able to see an incredible 54 bird species! The breakfast and lunch were delicious and kept us energized and happy throughout the day.

I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Endemic Peru to anyone visiting Peru. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience—we couldn’t have been happier!”
