After Manu National Park, I flew to Puerto Maldonado, a small town at the South Eastern corner of Peru bordering Brazil. Not as many birds as the cloud forest of Manu but luckily I got this shot of the Ringed K.

 

It's really hot at P, Maldonado, temperature at around 36-40 degree C (97-104 F) high everyday year round. Be prepared if you go there.
