The arid slopes above eastern Lima make up part of the western flank of Andes. As we climb into the foothills, we’ll leave the coastal fog below and ascend along rushing streams and steep-walled canyons on to dry, shrub covered slopes.
The avifauna of these arid slopes reflects the relative isolation of the habitat type, which is restricted primarily to the west slope of the western Andes from central Peru to northern Chile. Hence, the arid subtropical and temperate shrub zones here host a number of species of restricted geographic range, some of which like the Great Inca Finch, Bronze-tailed Comet and the, Rufous-breasted Warbling-Finch are endemic to a very narrow area within Peru. Amid the cacti, shrubs, and terrestrial bromeliads are rather obscure blossoms that attract a variety of hummingbirds. Among them are Oasis Hummingbird, Purple-collared Woodstar, and the tiny Peruvian Sheartail, whose violet-red gorget and long white tail feathers distinguish the male immediately.
Depending on weather conditions the majestic Andean Condor may be see it.
