Birdwatching

Peru

Lima

Surrounded by the city on almost every side, Pantanos de villa is a national refugee and Ramsar site located only few kilometers from Lima touristy area. Fresh water surfacing at the coast keeps the lagoons and roadbeds alive, and more than two hundred bird species use them including migrants stopping on the Pacific flyway. No cages nor captivity, only walking circuits and hides to appreciate the diverse fauna.
