Ecotourism and Conservation must be the silent war confronting the cocaine industry and other illegal activities. Involving more people and communities in the search for better understanding and value for the rainforest and the hope of ideal leadership must be the key to overcome this inconvenient situation.

Observar aves no solo debería limitarse a obtener los mejores y altos registros quizá debiera ser algo más interesante y humano que eso. "Es también mirar al costado". 

La Reserva Ecológica Guadalupe desde ya es un lugar que sirve para afianzar el acercamiento del joven estudiante en Kosñipata hacia el maravilloso mundo de las aves

The first stop was to look for shores birds good number were in evidence, it's been a surprise as all they were congregated in a small pond: greater and lesser yellowlegs and few solitaries sandpipers, and the most surprising was the great look of Semipalmated Plover.

Something remarkable about this blog referring to an interesting spot that has become a nice place for birding at hometown " World Famous Manu Road"

Over the years I had been traveling hundreds of times along the Manu road, since my childhood as I am originally from that region. I could enjoy the most fascinating bird's glimpses, views at any transect of the road

“Trocha Union” is a transect across the Manu cloud forest, the trail start from elevations above 3800 meters and the transect is narrow and steeply. According to the chronics, this path was a former Inca Trail heading to kosñipata Valley in the Incas times, and also, it had been used in the conquest period by the Spaniards to explore the further Amazon.

I found a very special this area for bird watching in my personal opinion, despite being a secondary forest but has some primary forest bands crossing the mountains was so nice to see small species of flycatchers (stripe necked tody-tyrant, yellow-throated spade-bill, White-bellied pygmy-tyrant) among other species appeared to be more frequent and easy to spot.
