点评:We spent three weeks in central Peru with Cesar. This was out third trip with Birds of Peru and it exceeded our expectations. As always, Cesar was an excellent birding guide and companion on a trip that covered over 3,000 kilometers on narrow mountain roads and a wide variety of destinations. The birding was great! Lots of challenging species - including at least five tapaculos and four or five tricky antpittas. Cesar knows where to find the target birds and has the sills and technology to tease them into the open.
On this trip (the third we have done with Cesar over the past five years), we were well prepared for some difficult conditions at high altitude and cold conditions. We stayed in several nice lodges but also a few pretty basic places near the birding destinations. Everyone we stayed with was very accommodating and the food was always good and plentiful.
This was not a luxury tour... it was an adventure and we loved it. Cesar is one of the best birding guides in Peru (and elsewhere in the region) and he has researched the best places to stay to get the most out of the experience. I added 120 species to my life list and have many excellent photographs of rare and spectacular birds to share.
翻译:我们和塞萨尔一起在秘鲁中部度过了三周时间。这是我们第三次参加“Birds of Peru”组织的旅行,此次行程完全超出了我们的预期。和往常一样,塞萨尔是一位出色的观鸟向导;我们沿着狭窄的山路行驶了3,000多公里,造访了众多不同的目的地。观鸟体验棒极了!遇到了许多极具挑战性的物种——其中包括至少5种蹄兔鸟,以及4到5种很难观察到的蚁鸫。塞萨尔知道在哪里能找到目标鸟种,也具备相应的技巧与技术手段来引诱它们现身。
这次行程(也是过去五年里我们与塞萨尔一起进行的第三次行程)中,我们对高海拔地区的恶劣气候与严寒条件做了充分准备。我们下榻过几家不错的旅舍,也在观鸟地点附近住过一些条件相当简陋的住所。接待我们的所有人都非常热情周到,食物也总是既美味又充足。
这并非一次豪华之旅……这是一次极棒的冒险之旅,我们乐在其中。塞萨尔是秘鲁(乃至整个地区)最优秀的观鸟向导之一,他精心挑选了最适合下榻的旅馆,以确保我们能获得最佳的体验。我的观鸟清单上又增添了120种新物种,我还拍下了许多稀有且漂亮的鸟类的精彩照片,期待与大家分享。
