Amazing experience! We had an incredible experience with Manakin Expeditions. We were staying in the Sacred Valley and wanted to see some cloud forest birds, so we took a day tour to Abra Malaga. Miguel, who helped us set up the tour, was incredibly helpful. Danny Vargas, our guide, was an expert ornithologist, a conservationist, and a source of knowledge about the Sacred Valley and its surrounds. The tour was both extremely professional and very personalized, and we learned about the birds (and even picked up some birding techniques), the history, and the biology of the area. Our box lunches were delicious, our driver was friendly and professional - just an amazing experience with an extremely professional operation. I would recommend Manakin Expeditions to anyone travelling to the Cusco area or beyond, for any reason, but particularly for those wanting to spot some of Peru's amazing birds.

Amazing birding adventure with guide from Manakin Expeditions Apr 2024 ā€¢ Couples We were whisked away from Cusco with Danny a few years back for an epic birding adventure prior to the formation of Manakin. I recall that he would hear a bird and identify it while driving, without even seeing the species. We spent time viewing the Cock of the Rock and then we spent almost a week in Manu, exploring the vast and magnificent untouched beauty. We were quite remote and we had the most wonderful time. Danny led a wildlife count each evening accompanied by photos, we played games, ate wonderful food, and basked in the wildness and remoteness of the area. We also stopped in many highland areas to view hummingbirds and ruins. We saw many species of monkeys, saki, tamarin, capuchin troops, spider, woolly monkey (left me breathless), sloth, tapir, caimans, hoatzin, and too many birds to mention. This was one of the most memorable trips I have been on, and I would book time with Danny again in an instant. I always felt safe and he is extremely knowledgeable about all creatures great and small.

Amazing birding adventure with guide from Manakin Expeditions. We met Danny Vargas at our beautiful hotel in Cuzco to embark on a trip to the Manu Wilderness Lodge. On the way, Danny had the driver stop several times to see rare birds and we saw a beautiful troop of wooly monkeys. I'm a serious birder and I studied my field guide, "Birds of Peru," for at least a year prior to the trip but Danny proved to be highly competent. I quit keeping notes when I discovered how good Danny was about putting together a list of sightings each evening from memory. We saw the much sought after Andean cock-of-the-rock and Vanessa, a mostly wild tapir. We soon came to share his love of what I call chicken restaurants where chickens come in until the owner chases them out. They're great places to have indigenous Peruvian food. I've had excellent birding guides all over the world and Danny was one of the greatest of the great. I got 176 life birds on my life list, due in no small part to Danny's competence as a birder.

Professional, dedicated, and completely customizable! Danny and the team at Manakin Expeditions are professional and beyond comparison in terms of their ability to create customized tours to suit your individual interests. I took a 16-day tour with Danny that was specifically catered to tracking down an extensive list of target bird species throughout northern Peru, and he put together an amazing itinerary that allowed us to see nearly every bird on my list! His expertise in the field and knowledge on local spots is unparalleled, and his dedication and patience for tracking down even the most elusive birds for a client is impressive. I'm a fairly experienced birder that has had many bird guides around the world and Danny is among the best I've had. The drivers we had were also professional and very friendly. The accommodations and food were great and were picked based on my budget. If you are looking for someone who will go above and beyond to give you a customized experience rather than just a one-size-fits-all bird tour, this is absolutely the company to do it with.

Great Day at Abra Malaga. I spent an entire day with Danny from Manakin Expeditions. We went to Abra Malaga and had a great day of birding. We saw spectacular vistas and over 31 species. Food was provided which was a nice unexpected surprise. Danny is personable, reliable and knows where to go to find the birds. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Birding & cultural tour in Peru. Danny is so knowledgeable, engaging, caring, and patient. With Danny's guidance, my birding & photography skills improved. It was the trip of a lifetime. We got to experience diverse ecosystems and encounter rare species that are a part of the delicate web of life specific to each region. We also got to see historic cultural sites, meet artisans and craftspeople, and tour the salt spring and learn about the community. I highly recommend Danny as a guide and trip leader! Food was provided which was a nice unexpected surprise. Danny is personable, reliable and knows where to go to find the birds. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit northern Peru thanks to the expert guidance of Manakin Expeditions. This trip was everything I had hoped for and more! I was able to check off so many lifers from my list, including some of the most sought-after species. Among the highlights were the stunning Marvelous Spatuletail, one of the most unique hummingbirds Iā€™ve ever seen, and several other endemic species that made this trip truly unforgettable. If you're a serious birder looking to expand your list and experience Peru's rich ecosystems, I highly recommend booking with Dannny. They know their birds, and they certainly know how to deliver an exceptional birding adventure!

Manakin Expeditions is an incredible operation. Miguel and Danny are knowledgeable and accommodating. Our tour with Danny was a revelation; he is a true birding expert and a conservationist. We learned so much and saw some incredible sights along the way. Anyone booking with Manakin will have an amazing experience.

Amazing Birdwatching Tour at Machu Picchu! I recently went on a birdwatching tour at Machu Picchu with Manakin Expeditions, and it was an incredible experience! The organization was flawless, and the guides were extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about birdlife. We were able to spot a variety of bird species, including some rare and beautiful ones. The backdrop of Machu Picchu made the experience even more magical. The guides shared fascinating insights about the birds and the unique environment of this iconic location.

Our trip to Manu was unforgettable. From the moment we reached out, their responsiveness and attention to detail stood out. We spent five wonderful days in Cusco and then head to Manu, guided by Miguel and Danny. They were attentive to our interests and customized our itinerary, making sure we experienced everything to the fullest. Their dedication truly enhanced our visit.

Our recent birding and cultural tour in Peru was absolutely unforgettable! We started with birdwatching in the lush cloud forests of Abra Malaga, where we spotted a dazzling array of endemic species, thanks to the sharp eyes and expertise of our guide. We then immersed ourselves in Peruvian history with a visit to Machu Picchu, guided by incredibly knowledgeable cultural experts who shared fascinating insights about the Inca civilization. Each day was a perfect blend of nature and heritage, from the scenic Sacred Valley to the vibrant wildlife of the Amazon. The teamā€™s professionalism and passion for Peru made this a truly enriching journey
