This tour has been all-consuming - wonderful but all-consuming - and I have had no time, wit or energy to write anything about the glorious wildlife we've seen. No doubt my Peruvian thoughts will trickle onto these pages in the coming days, after some sleep.
I have managed to compile a list of all the remaining new vertebrates from the tour. I've achieved this as we're stuck in Lima airport, our flight two hours late, waiting for news on a faulty hydraulic pump. I don't suppose any of you has a spare hydraulic pump.
For now, here is a list of spectacular Peruvian critters I've seen in the past few days.
New on our last two
