My fiancee and I took an amazing trip with Doris to Manu and the Amazonian lowlands in September, seeing over 360 species of birds in 8 days. Doris' incredible knowledge of Peru's avifauna is matched by her energy and enthusiasm for Peru's culture, history, and ecology. I cannot imagine having done this trip with anyone else, and would highly recommend Doris as a guide to anyone traveling to Peru. I hope to be able to travel with her again on my next visit!

My husband and I and my brother and his family traveled to Peru in October 2011. We spent a glorious 10 days with Carlos showing us around getting us primed for the big hike. Then Doris took over. This was a trip my brother and I wanted to do for years. It did not disappoint. Doris is an amazing guide- so knowledgeable about the history of the country, archeology, and the plants and the animals. The food was awesome, the 4 day hike was challenging, but worth every minute. It was a magical trip and the only complaint we have is-the trip ended. We hope to return some day for another adventure with Doris and Habitats Peru.

Wendy and I had an incredible experience during our October trip with Habitats Peru. We loved every minute in Peru. From our first four days in the Amazon, to mountain biking Maras and Moray, to exploring the historical areas near Cusco and Machu Picchu, to concluding our trip at Lake Titicaca, our trip was beyond our expectations. Doris is an excellent guide. Our trip was well organized with excellent attention to every detail. The accommodations were all first rate. The food was fantastic.
Doris has a deep and accurate knowledge of the history of Peru and of the various sites we visited. I did a lot of reading about the history of Peru to prepare for our trip. Doris was able to "flesh out" what I had read, from the smallest architectural details to broad historical events. She also excelled at teaching us about the art and cultural sites we visited.
I have been fortunate to have birded with some excellent birders in North America. Doris's ear and identification skills are as good as anyone with whom I have birded. This is a daunting challenge because of Peru's 1800 plus bird list.
I would totally trust Doris to arrange a trip for you that you will completely enjoy and never forget.

I emphatically recommend Habitats Peru and Doris Valencia to anybody wanting to explore Peru. Doris is an enthusiastic and knowledgable guide and she is well versed in the cultural and natural history of her country. Her birding skills are top notch and she works hard to insure that all the participants gets to see them. Doris Valencia is one of the best guides that I have had the pleasure to work with. Our tour with her was
excellent and we look forwards to working with her again.

We had a wonderful vacation with Doris, Carlos and other members of their staff. The personalized itinerary and care taken that all our needs were met, could not have been better. All the guides were so knowledgeable about the natural history and culture of their country.. Our stay in Peru more than met our expectations, so much so, that we are planning another trip for this fall to the Manu and Amazon basin. Thank you for a memorable experience!

I spent a few days birding with Doris and Carlos in September. We birded several places around Cusco and in Monterosa (where I also got to plant some trees).
I had a fabulous time! Doris and Carlos were very knowledgeable about birds, history, culture and most other things Peru.
Doris is absolutely amazing at spotting and identifying birds. I came back with more than 150 life birds, including 17 hummingbirds and some rare birds, like the endangered Inca Wren.
It was a fabulous tour. I am planning to do another tour with them later this year.
I highly recommend them. You will have a good time.
