Trip Report - Iquitos
Iquitos is the ultimate Amazonian birding destination, but we have had trouble putting together the ideal itinerary for our tours there. This visit, in May and June 2010, was my fourth trip to the area, and - using some information from Wim's trips as well, we have finally figured it out. I spent 10 days doing some recce birding with Miguel Lezama, and then had 12 days with an excellent group of birders (Frank Bills, Sharon Bostick, Ron Hoff, and Dollyann Myers), with Ron and Dollyann staying on for an additional four days. Here I summarise my experiences at four sites:
1. Otorongo Lodge, a recently established lodge on the north bank of the Amazon River downstream from the mouth of the Rio Napo.
2. Allpahuayo-Mishana, the famous reserve southeast of the city of Iquitos.
3. Muyuna Lodge, an excellent place for some special flooded forest birds on the south bank of the Amazon.
4. ExplorNapo-ACTS, the most interesting sites that are part of the Explorama operations, on the lower Rio Napo.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable trip in spite of some unseasonable "cool" weather and occasional heavy rain (which usually had good timing as far as we were concerned). In particular, we were thrilled to see the very rare Iquitos Gnatcatcher rather well at Allpahuayo-Mishana, and happy to get two curassows (Wattled and Nocturnal), three nunlets (Rusty-breasted, Rufous-capped, and Brown), seven jacamars, and an overall total of 62 antbirds/thrushes/pittas!

Otorongo LodgeI first visited this site with Miguel (May 22-26), and then with the tour group (June 01-04). The lodge is on Oran Creek less than 1 km. from the Amazon River itself; Oran village is nearby and the immediate area is not especially pristine, but there is good birding to be had. The rooms have private bathrooms but no hot water, the food was excellent, and the beer was cold. On my first day with Miguel, we took a small dugout canoe up Oran Creek for over an hour, and then walked back to the lodge - it took over 7 hours! But we did find very interesting primary terra firme forest with some good birds, and found some interesting species in overgrown cultivations as well. With the tour group we had a similar outing on a much smaller scale, visiting an area just 20 minutes up the creek by motor boat. With Miguel we also visited a nearby oxbow lake (Tarapotino) and had a very enjoyable paddle there; with the group we visited an adjacent backwater (Ayzana) by motor boat where we had some good birds as well. The garden itself was also excellent (including the Point-tailed Palmcreeper photographed at left), though the forest immediately behind the lodge was not very active. The best birding was probably on the river islands on the nearby Amazon River. We were able to visit old, medium, and young islands and find most of the expected specialties, including all the ones the group was especially interest in. The lodge's greatest weakness is the trail system; they gave us very competent local guides to lead us around the forest, but it would be nice if they established and maintained a few trails rather than macheting new ones for each walk. They are planning to do this in the near future. The best species we found were: |
Black-banded Crake - a (relatively!) very cooperative pair in an overgrown farm up Oran Creek. What beautiful birds!
Southern Lapwing - a recent colonist in Peru, seen regularly around young river islands and at the entrance to Oran Creek.
Short-tailed Parrot - common in the area, especially along the Amazon itself, as expected.
Olive-spotted Hummingbird - seen and heard a couple of times on river islands.
Yellow-billed Jacamar - a very sedentary pair in the forest immediately behind the lodge, seen several times.
White-chinned Jacamar - seen at both Ayzana and Tarapotino.
White-chested Puffbird - one seen at an ant swarm in the terra firme forest a long way from the lodge.
Rusty-breasted Nunlet - a very responsive bird in the terra firme up Oran Creek; great scope views!
Rufous-capped Nunlet - one seen and a couple others heard in flooded forest along Oran Creek.
Plain-breasted Piculet - hard to see, but common on river islands and even in the lodge garden.
Pale-billed Hornero - several on the older river island ("Islandia") across the main channel of the Amazon.
White-bellied Spinetail - seen in two places on young river islands.
Plain-crowned Spinetail - one of the "two-noted" song-type on a river island.
Parker's Spinetail - a cooperative pair on a young river island.
Red-and-white Spinetail - eventually found a showy individual in a grassy backwater.
Point-tailed Palmcreeper - one evidently resident in the garden, seen repeatedly on a particular palm spike. What a beauty!
Zimmer's Woodcreeper - seen on both visits to "Islandia."
Castelnau's Antshrike - seen on two different islands.
Pearly Antshrike - one pair in the distant terra firme forest.
Leaden Antwren - just one female found, but seen very well, on "Islandia."
Ash-winged Antwren - an atypically nice views of one in the distant terra firme.
Ash-breasted Antbird - regularly encountered on "Islandia."
Black-chinned Antbird - a rather large group (5?) responding to playback at Tarapotino.
Black-and-white Antbird - encountered on young and medium river islands.
Black-headed Antbird |
Slate-coloured Antbird - encountered a few times in terra firme forest.
Chestnut-belted Gnateater - what a beauty! A male responding well to tape in terra firme forest just up Oran Creek.
Southern Scrub-Flycatcher - the most surprising of several Austral migrants seen (this one in the garden) during my two visits.
Helmeted Pygmy-Tyrant - several heard in terra firme well back from lodge.
Black-and-white Tody-Flycatcher - rather common; several pairs found along Oran Creek and also in overgrown farms.
Yellow-olive Flycatcher - a pair attending a nest on "Islandia."
Orange-eyed Flycatcher - great looks at an individual responding to a pygmy-owl immitation in the lodge garden!
Fuscous Flycatcher - one on Coto Isla, a middle-aged island.
Black-necked Red Cotinga - one male seen briefly along Oran Creek, almost an hours' paddle up from the lodge.
Collared Gnatwren - quite common, but only seen in the more distant patches of terra firme forest.
Fulvous-crested Tanager - a stunning male in terra firme fairly close to the lodge.
Band-tailed Oropendola - seen on both visits to "Islandia." A bird I'd somehow always missed until coming here!
Velvet-fronted Grackle - a nice group along Oran Creek just above the lodge.

Allpahuayo-MishanaThis is now a famous birding site, popularised by the recent description of three new species of bird as well as isolated populations of quite a few other enigmatic species. The birding is often slow here, but what you do see is typically very high quality. There are several access points, though some require permits from offices in Iquitos. At others you can pay directly upon entering. We visited several sites between km. 25 and 28 of the Iquitos-Nauta Road. In total I spent parts of 8 days there between May 27 and June 10, with Miguel and with the tour group. In general, most specialties (including the Brown-banded Puffbird photographed at left) were found around "El Dorado" in km. 25, both on the official entrance track and other nearby tracks through various types of white sand forest. Though we made a couple attempts at night birds, we came up empty on the two rare potoos found here. It is possible to stay at the IIAP station in km. 26, but you need to cook your own food and there is no effective protection from mosquitoes. Miguel and I tried one night but found it unproductive; with the tour group we made trips from Iquitos city. Our best species: |
Chestnut-headed Crake - a responsive individual seen at the "El Dorado" nursery with Miguel; no reaction to tape there during the tour, unfortunately.
Black-throated Hermit - one in the forest behind the IIAP station; possibly also a lek at the "El Dorado" entrance, but we didn't make much effort to see the singing birds.
Gould's Jewelfront - one along the main "El Dorado" track.
Black-throated Trogon - the rarest trogon in Peru; a nice pair along the "El Dorado" track.
Brown-banded Puffbird - not rare, but inconspicuous, usually sitting above the canopy and calling only occasionally. With Miguel we saw one, but it was a disappointing "heard-only" during the tour.
Collared Puffbird - a beautiful bird seen well at km. 25.
Brown Nunlet |
Yellow-billed Nunbird - seen at its usual spot - the nusery along the "El Dorado" track.
Short-billed Leaftosser - one taped in at dusk behind the IIAP station.
Pearly Antshrike - encountered both at km. 25 and behind the IIAP station.
Banded Antbird - my favourite bird, found twice behind the IIAP station.
Ancient Antwren - heard in most canopy flocks anywhere in the reserve, but seen best along the "El Dorado" track, where canopy views are generally good.
Allpahuayo Antbird - one of the tougher specialties; a pair responded to playback at km. 25, though we only got good looks at the male.
Zimmer's Antbird - heard in a couple places, and seen at exactly the same spot where we also had the Allpahuayo Antbirds.
Lunulated Antbird - a rare species, unfortunately heard only along the "El Dorado" track.
Ash-throated Gnateater - Miguel and I had a nice pair behind the IIAP station; we couldn't relocate them during the tour.
Mishana Tyrannulet - heard in many spots, but our best views (in the scope) were at km. 25, well back from the road.
Zimmer's Tody-Tyrant - a nasty bird to get a decent look at, but we had acceptable views at km. 25.
Yellow-throated Flycatcher - seen both at km. 25 and on the "El Dorado" track, as usual with canopy flocks.
Citron-bellied Attila - heard often, and responded well to tape when we needed to see it; seems most common at km. 25.
Pompadour Cotinga - not so rare when you start listening for them, but tough to see. We had surprisingly nice flight views of a male behind the IIAP station, and heard them at km. 25; finally we got scope views at "El Dorado" on our last visit.
Saffron-crested Tyrant-Manakin - rather easily found in and around apparent lekking areas at km. 25.
Orange-crowned Manakin - another tricky specialty; we had a very close chance encounter with a subtly beautiful female at km. 25.
Iquitos Gnatcatcher - finally caught up with this one! Seen twice, along the "El Dorado" track; during the tour, we had a pair of them fanning their tails and chasing about for good views.

Muyuna LodgeDuring the tour, we planned 3 full days at this lodge, arriving on June 06 and leaving on June 10. Unfortunately, we found this to be too much, as the reported "terra firme" behind the lodge was notably unproductive and activity was generally not very high anywhere. HOWEVER, the main reason for our visit was the extremely rare Wattled Curassow (photograph at left), which our local guide helped us find on our first morning. The forest behind the lodge appeared to be transitional, and secondary in some areas; it is extremely dominated by palms in the undergrowth. There are some trails through this area, but the birding was rather unvaried and two half-day walks probably covers most of the possibilities. Across the Yanayacu River there is a very extensive network of oxbow lakes, creeks, and flooded forest, and this provides the best birding in the area, both by boat and walking on islands or near-islands, though they may be flooded during the true high water season from January to April. We also went spot-lighting one night and had a few different species. The lodge itself focusses on serving "jungle experience" groups (as do most lodges in the Iquitos area), and the service is generally good. The food was not as varied or tasty as at Otorongo, and the beer was occassionally not cold (horror!). The rooms were very nice, with private balconies and private bathrooms; hot water appears to be in the works but we had none during our visit. I did not visit this lodge with Miguel; notable species we recorded here during the tour were: |
Boat-billed Heron - one spotlit on our night boat trip.
Rose-fronted Parakeet - a flock on the edge of the lodge clearing.
Short-tailed Parrot - very common in this area.
Blue-chinned Sapphire - a strangely uncommon bird in my experience; one seen briefly at a forest edge Inga tree on a trail behind the lodge.
Blue-cheeked Jacamar |
Rufous-capped Nunlet - a cooperative pair along a trail in the flooded forest.
Plain-breasted Piculet - we finally managed to see one, after much searching and eventually playback, in the flooded forest.
Red-and-white Spinetail - nice looks at a single bird on the edge of an oxbow lake.
Orange-fronted Plushcrown - amazingly common; several seen daily in the flooded forest - more than I'd seen total in my previous 8+ years in Peru!
Slender-billed Xenops - also a rather common bird here, especially in flooded forest.
Zimmer's Woodcreeper - heard only (we'd seen it at Otorongo Lodge) several times in flooded forest.
Amazonian Antshrike - a responsive male along a backwater in the floodforest.
Saturnine Antshrike - regular in mixed flocks in the forest behind the lodge.
Black-tailed Antbird - extremely common (!) and very cooperative along two flooded forest trails we walked. Nice bird!
Dot-backed Antbird - encountered several times, both behind the lodge and in flooded forest.
Yellow-crowned Elaenia - heard only (we didn't make much effort to see them) several times in flooded forest.
Royal Flycatcher - one pair seen very well in flooded forest.
Dusky-chested Flycatcher - a pair at a fruiting tree in the forest behind the lodge.
Swainson's Flycatcher - three different individuals seen during our visit, all in flooded forest.
Dusky-tailed Flatbill - two individuals (one photographed by Ron) along a flooded forest trail - a remarkable range extension.
Plum-throated Cotinga - worth mentioning for the frequency of our encounters: seen every time we did a boat trip in the flooded forest!
Wire-tailed Manakin - also worth mentioning for its abundance: one of the most common birds behind the lodge.
Short-billed Honeycreeper - a female (possibly a pair) with a flock in the transitional forest behind the lodge.
Caqueta Seedeater - one across the river from the village just upstream from the lodge.
Band-tailed Oropendola - a pair foraging in the river-edge forest near the lodge.
Velvet-fronted Grackle - a small party picking along the waterfront in front of the lodge when we arrived; not seen subsequently.

ExplorNapo/ACTS LodgesThis is perhaps the best known birding site near Iquitos, with a long tradition of visits by birding tours. In the past we have avoided them, since Explorama requires you to use one of their own non-specialised guides (thus making it an expensive destination for our clients, who end up paying for 2 guides), and we had the impression that their programs we not very flexible and not especially catered to serious birders. However, we were very happy with the results of our June 12-16 visit, except that our Explorama guide brought ONLY blinding white shirts to wear! He (Luis) was helpful, however, and knew some of our target species. I cannot say enough about the effort he and the two "canopy walkway guards" made in order to show us a Nocturnal Curassow on our final night - what a way to end the trip! We spent one night at ExplorNapo and three at ACTS, as most of Ron and Dollyann's targets were terra firme birds. The trail system is extensive (almost too extensive, I'd say, for the area it occupies) and the forest is in excellent shape, though the neighbouring communities certainly do encroach to hunt. We spent little time on the canopy walkway as there were few possible new birds for us there, but it is a spectacle not to be missed for most; I thoroughly enjoyed it on one previous independent visit. Probably due to the time of year, song activity was very low and birds were not especially responsive to tape, but each walk produced different birds and in the end we were very pleased with the results. Our highlights, relatively few but very high quality: |
Slaty-backed Forest-Falcon - one heard one morning calling in the area under the canopy walkway.
Grey-winged Trumpeter - seeing these guys was a real surprise; we heard and taped in a small party near the Explorama property line one afternoon. Though we only had brief views, we were "thrilled beyond belief" (Ron's phrase) to see them!
Black-throated Brilliant - unfortunately heard only, in the forest behind the botanic garden.
Yellow-billed Jacamar - one perched in a treefall gap below the canopy walkway.
Collared Puffbird - probably the same bird seen twice, in the forest just behind ExplorNapo.
Rusty-breasted Nunlet |
Strong-billed Woodcreeper - generally a rare species in the lowlands of Peru; one cooperative bird taped in along the forested creek near ExplorNapo.
Undulated Antshrike - the frustration of our visit; the same bird was heard only (vaguely glimpsed, I suppose) on three different occasions. It would sing persistently in response to playback, but resolutely would not move, and its impenetrable habitat made our approaches unsuccessful.
Black Bushbird - another skulker-in-treefalls, but this one (a pretty female) responded brilliantly and Ron even got some video of it through his scope after we'd all admired it.
Banded Antbird - encountered twice one day around ACTS.
Dugand's Antwren - we never saw them (didn't spend a morning on the canopy walkway), but heard a pair in most canopy flocks in the area around ACTS.
Ash-winged Antwren - again, not seen, but heard in several canopy flocks. Assumed to be this species (and not Chestnut-shouldered) based on range.
Slate-coloured Antbird - a pair on the fringes of an antswarm; others heard.
Striated Antthrush - after much effort (some ineffective playback followed by shephering by Luis and I) we had excellent views of this rare beauty!
Black-and-white Tody-Flycatcher - a pair seen once (and heard often) in the tangled clearing edge at ACTS.
Black-tailed Flycatcher - a showy pair along the forested creek near ExplorNapo.
Dusky-chested Flycatcher - apparently a single, scoped in a treefall gap near ACTS.
Black-necked Red Cotinga - one seen well - but briefly - on our first afternoon a couple hundred metres from ExplorNapo; heard only subsequently.
Collared Gnatwren - after hearing it a couple times, we eventually had good views of a pair near the Explorama property line behind ACTS.
Fulvous-crested Tanager - a nice male near ACTS.
Red-rumped Cacique - a noisy party in the canopy between ExplorNapo and ACTS.
