Royal Sunangel Photography

Photography holidays in Peru

The Royal Sunangel is a striking hummingbird that photographers rarely encounter without a well-planned itinerary, and NaturesLens has built its Peru's Ultimate Hummingbirds holiday around giving guests genuine opportunities to capture this species at close range. With patient guiding and knowledge of the birds' favoured perches and feeding spots, the holiday is designed to put photographers in the right place at the right time, allowing for considered compositions rather than fleeting, opportunistic shots.
