About This Trip
Kuntur Birding offers guided pelagic birding trips from Pucusana Port, sailing more than 20 miles offshore into the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the Humboldt Current. The Pucusana departure gives quick access to deep offshore waters where pelagic specialists such as Waved Albatross, Buller's Albatross, Cook's Petrel, Ringed Storm-Petrel, and Elliot's Storm-Petrel can be found. Nearshore sections of the trip offer reliable views of Peruvian Booby, Humboldt Penguin, Red-legged Cormorant, Inca Tern, and the Peruvian Diving-Petrel, a Humboldt Current endemic.
