Coastal Miners, Least Seedsnipes, Burrowing Owls and Peruvian Meadowlarks are the first birds we'll see. Variable Hawks and Black-chested Buzzard-Eagles constantly soars above the plains of this Reserve.

Once we enter the main part of the reserve the landscape changes dramatically, mountains covered with vegetation and trees growing along the creeks, it’s hard to imagine that the desert is only a couple of miles away.

We’ll walk along a trail to a waterhole where flocks of birds gather together to drink as this is the only permanent water source in the reserve. It’s not uncommon to see Andean Tinamous crossing the trail. Other common species are Mountain Parakeets, Peruvian Sheartail, Oasis Hummingbird, Band-tailed Sierra-finch, Collared Warbling-finch and the endemic Raimondi’s Yellow-finch.

Finally, we will visit Quebrada Guayabito located on the dry side of the reserve. This area is home to the endemic Cactus Canastero and also Short-tailed Field Tyrant and Grayish Miner.

What To Expect

Located in one of the driest deserts in the world, the Lomas de Lachay Reserve has a truly unique ecosystem whose principal source of moisture is fog from the ocean. The reserve support severe drought conditions in summer (December to May) and enjoy the moisture from heavy fog in the winter (June to November). The humid conditions during the wet season allows the extraordinary growth of seasonal vegetation and even small patches of forest in the area. Four endemic birds can be found in this reserve, Coastal Miner, Thick-billed Miner, Raimondi’s Yellow-finch and Cactus Canastero.
Please keep in mind that we will spend about 2 hours driving to this area in the morning, and two hours driving back to Lima. Making for a total of 4 hours travelling back and forth. We usually stop along the way to see some birds to make the most out of it.
