Venture into the wild, pristine and little known interior of Guyana for a birdwatchers dream. With over 800 species the country is full of birdwatching opportunities, but this expedition is targeting two of Guyana’s specialties. This trip focuses primarily on a newly found Harpy Eagle nest, which is expected to be active until early 2006.
The Harpy Eagle or “flying wolf” is the largest eagle in the world. With limited distribution and now on the endangered list the eagle still has a refuge in Guyana. An active Harpy Eagle nest has been located in a relatively easily accessible location offering great views of this magnificent bird.
You will also have the opportunity to trek into lovely rainforest to visit a Guyanan Cock-of-the-rock lek. The brilliant orange of the male is a sight to see, especially if you are lucky enough to experience their mating rituals.
You can also add additional days and visit Karanambu Ranch to see Giant River Otters, Black Caiman and Giant Anteaters, the Iwokrama International Centre and the famous Kaieteur Falls.
As with any trip involving wildlife it is impossible to guarantee a sighting, but all trips are taken to known active sites where previous sightings have been confirmed. |
