The Northern Peru Birding Route stretches from the dry forests of the Pacific coast to the tropical lowlands of the Amazon, crossing the lowest part of the entire Andean chain at Abra Porcuya and the arid Maran valley. The complex
geography of the region combined with climatic factors has led to the evolution of many diverse habitats, which support a staggering diversity of birds including many endemic species. Some 1,600 species have been recorded for
the eight political departments of the northern route, including 100 globally threatened species and 150 restricted-range species from 10 endemic bird areas.
