We greatly enjoyed our trip to Pucusana. Considering that it was our first visit to Peru, we were not looking for rare species as every species was potentially new to us, except some species migrating between south and north America. This is why we opted for a multifaceted trip minimizing driving time and optimizing the variety of habitats visited (sea and coastal; wetlands; terrestrial/agricultural). Doing this, we saw a large variety of species from colibris to large whales that was exactly what we aimed at. We made a coffee and filled-bread break in the morning and an empanadas break in the afternoon. The guide and the driver were both extremely friendly and competent and we spent a marvelous day altogether!

We had a great morning birding. Juan found us all of the target birds plus many others. The habitat was unique and the drive to our birding stops was spectacular. Plus we were given a field breakfast. It was a perfect morning and a great time.

We had an absolutely wonderful trip! Jose led the guiding and Jorge was our driver. Both were extremely warm and engaged in our experience. Jose in particular was keen to catch on things we were liking / not liking (this was our first birding trip) and was EXTREMELY knowledgable, clocking birds through dense foliage while we were driving, and catching bird calls from far away which were validated when they approached. Jose was also friendly in conversation and did an admirable job helping us get to know both him and his country. The company also does a good job accommodating diet / lifestyle requests. Also thanks to Gunnar who received my initial request via email and went back and forth with me over the course of several weeks while he helped me figure out what kind of trip I wanted to plan

This was an amazing trip with great coverage of Central Peru and it's amazing suite of endemics. The trip was well-organized and executed. Gunnar is an excellent birder, guide, and is great company. I would highly recommend both Gunnar and the trip.
