TOUR DETAILS
Embark on an unforgettable one-day Inca Tern photo tour in Lima, Peru. This immersive experience offers a remarkable opportunity to capture stunning images of the magnificent Inca Tern, an iconic bird species known for its distinctive appearance. The tour includes transportation, a delectable lunch, and a full-day photo workshop conducted in the picturesque district of Chorrillos. With guidance from professional photographers, you will enhance your photography skills while exploring the vibrant coastal landscapes and observing the fascinating behavior of these charismatic seabirds. Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and take home incredible photographs that will be cherished for a lifetime.
WEATHER
The Peruvian coast is located in the middle of one of the driest deserts in the world, the Atacama desert. Despite that, during the winter months (June to November) the atmosphere is saturated with high levels of humidity due to the condensation caused by the cold Humboldt current. Rains are very uncommon here (except during “El Niño” events), but drizzle is present almost everyday during the winter months. Temperatures ranges from 30°C (86°F) during the austral summer (December to March) to 13°C (55°F) from June to November.
During the winter months (June to November) dress in layers, a windproof jacket, fleece jacket and a T-shirt or a long sleeve shirt is a good combination.
Between November and May sunny days are very common. Bring something to cover your head as the UV factor along the Peruvian coast is very high. Also a sunblock with good UV protection is important.
