Here in the cloud forest, we will take our first hike and have the chance to observe Peru’s national bird, the Cock of the Rocks (Rupicola Peruviana), among many other different species of bird, as well as monkeys. With luck, the only South American bear- the Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos Ornatus) will also join us from afar. In the evening we will arrive at Pilcopata, where we will sleep in a local lodge. Showers and toilets are shared.
