Ensifera Hummingbird Gardens

Best birding in the Sacred Valley

Officially named Ensifera ensifera, the scientific name of the Sword-billed hummingbird, these private gardens are the best place for birding in the Sacred Valley.

Depending on the season, you can see up to 20 species of hummingbirds, which are listed in the image below. There are lots of other bird species there, though the main viewing area is set up near an area of feeders and flowers for hummingbirds.

I recommend calling or emailing ahead 3 days to reserve breakfast there, which costs s/20. That makes it easier to get there earlier because you don’t have to bother with breakfast and can arrive early while the birds are the most active.
