Subject: [Tweeters] RFI: Birding and sightseeing in Peru in May

We are planning a trip to Peru for most of May and I am looking for advice
and recommendations for birding destinations/guide services and other
sightseeing. Other than surfing the net, we've got the Rough Guide to Peru
and I've read two very helpful trip accounts on Surfbirds.com. We plan to
visit the Cusco area and hope to make the trek to Machu Pichu. The Manu
reserve is high on our list if we can figure out how to do so affordably.
Based on what I've read about the shortcomings of the field guide to birds
of peru, would we be better taking the field guide to the birds of Ecuador?
If you have any suggestions, please send them along off-line.

Thanks in advance,
