![]() What truly sets Surf and Turf apart is the following: they aren’t reinventing the wheel at all, they’re slapping some surf wax right on that bad boy and getting it ready to modernize. Having a roster of stellar artists signed to respective contracts in conjunction with a history of well produced shows most definitely gives Surf and Turf a leg above all those attempting to reinvent the wheel in their own way. Surf and Turf Records is a local team dedicated to elevating the voices and ideas of those who may be residing in your own backyard. Not only solely featuring the multitude of stars in the article, but their STARTS as well. This article, much like Surf and Turf Records, will be a collective in itself. Such blurred visions inspired team Surf and Turf to do the unthinkable: follow through. Blurred visions such as these prohibit us from seeking a future where our inner potential thrives as a result of fruitful labor and soulful, mindful gains through learned life experience. Now factor in the ratio regarding how often you follow through with those ideas vs how often you’ve given up because the outcome felt unlikely. Jose Antonio Padilla, known to many of our clients for his expert guidance in Peru and Bolivia, will lead this exciting new tour.Ask yourself how often you’ve thought of an idea. ![]() During a morning excursion to the islands we will hope to see Humboldt Penguin, Chilean Skua, Peruvian Tern and the beautiful Inca Tern, as well as up to four gull species, Peruvian and Blue-footed Boobies, Peruvian Diving-petrel and the resident sea lion colony. Pelagic birds nest on the offshore islands in such impressive numbers that their nitrogen-rich droppings (guano) collect in quantities large enough to be commercially exploited for fertiliser. We next drive back down the central Andean highway to Lima before turning south to the Reserva Nacional de Paracas, the most important wildlife sanctuary on the Peruvian coast. Dark-winged Miner and Junin Canastero are two further target endemics, along with more widespread birds such as Streak-throated Canastero, Plain-breasted Earthcreeper and White-winged Diuca-finches. We then continue our journey, driving 100 miles east of Lima to the desolate, windswept páramo at Marcapomacocha, where we’ll wrap up warmly to scour these high-altitude cushion plant bogs for two charismatic species: the endemic White-bellied Cinclodes and the beautifully patterned Diademed Sandpiperplover. Higher still, we will explore patches of threatened Polylepis forest at sunrise in search of the beautiful endemic White-cheeked Cotinga. Tall stands of introduced Eucalyptus trees often hold the diminutive Peruvian Pygmy-owl and, if the weather is favourable, Andean Condor may take to the air. Here we will search for several highly-prized endemics including Rufous-breasted Warblingfinch, Bronze-tailed Comet, Black-necked Woodpecker, Great Inca-finch, Thick-billed Miner and Rusty-bellied Brush-finch. We next drive east along the spectacular Santa Eulalia road, which takes us up into the rugged Andean foothills high above Lima. ![]() Here we will search for Great Grebe, Many-coloured Rush Tyrant, ducks, herons, waders and Peruvian Thick-knee in and around Lima’s coastal lagoons and marshes.

Next, we drive east into the rugged Andean foothills in search of highly prized arid west-slope endemics including Bronze-tailed Comet and Rusty-bellied Brush-finch. Beginning on the Pacific seaboard, we will search around coastal lagoons, scrub and marshes near Lima for species such as Great Grebe. This is an exciting birding holiday to Peru with direct BA flights to Lima and involving no domestic flights! During the 10-day tour we’ll make a thorough, ‘endemic-strewn’ exploration of Peru’s western Andean slopes and Humboldt Current ecosystem in search of a host of interesting species.
