Flora and Fauna

Machu Picchu's natural exuberance is characteristic of the Andean Cloud Forest; a land of vibrant orchids, exotic bromeliads, colorful butterflies, and several species of indigenous birds, such as the Inca Roacher, Parodi Hemispingus, and Green and White Hummingbird. Several species of hummingbirds, monkeys, and various endangered species such as the Peruvian Cock-of-the-Rock, the Andean Spectacled Bear, the Giant Otter and the Mountain Lion are also seen in Machu Picchu.
