Sandia Area

This site in extreme SE Peru is home to the little-known Green-capped Tanager, but there is a lot more to find. The whole area, in fact, is poorly known. Birding Peru will be exploring the birding in the near future; check back for news. Possibilities include Scimitar-winged Piha, Hooded Mountain-Toucan, Buff-banded Tyrannulet and Hazel-fronted Pygmy-Tyrant, while in the higher areas of the road leading to Sandia we may find Scribble-tailed Canastero or Short-tailed Finch.

Connecting Sites
The gateway to this area is Huancané, which is about a day's drive from Sandia.
