Did you know that Peru is home to more than 1,800 different species of bird (nearly 20% of the world’s bird population) and 45% of all neo tropical birds? In fact, Peru is celebrated for its wide range of biodiversity and is listed as the 3rd country in the world with the largest number of bird species. 62% of South America’s birds can be observed in Peru and here, at Inkaterra, we are delighted to welcome Bird Watchers (or “twitchers”, as they are commonly known) from all over the world who flock to Peru to get up close to the world’s most exotic species of birds.
We are excited to have joined forces with Green Team Global, Visit Peru, LATAM Airlines, and The Nature Conservancy to raise awareness of bird watching in Peru, in a new and exciting online game, Wings of Peru.
Gamers are encouraged to explore and navigate their way electronically around a series of idyllic locations and spot a multitude of exotic birds, including the Booted Racket Tail, The Goulds Inca, The Scarlet Macaw and many more (you may even spot Peru’s national bird, The Andean Cock of the Rock that is commonly observable at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel).
Not only will you have the opportunity to uncover our virtual feathered friends lurking amidst the Amazon and Andes, but you also stand a chance to win an exclusive trip for two to Peru, and witness these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat. As part of the prize, the lucky winner will win a spectacular stay at three of our properties: Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica (together with Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción. 540 bird species) Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel (home to 214 bird species, 18 of which are hummingbirds) and Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba (currently 73 bird species). The prize also includes round trip flights, courtesy of LATAM Airlines, two Eagle Creek Pack It cubes from Adventure.Travel, $500 worth of adventure gear from ExOfficio and a one year membership with The Nature Conservancy.
So, fly on over to Wings of Peru, take the birding challenge and enter to win a once in a lifetime birding experience. Good luck!
At Inkaterra, we pride ourselves on the protection of native exotic birds. Please visit our ITA website for more information.
