With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tschudi's Pacific Iguana sighting in Lima on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 6 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Tschudi's Pacific Iguana in Lima on a given day, against under 5% in February and June–September, the lowest months.
Only Lima, in our data
Lima is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Tschudi's Pacific Iguana sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Microlophus

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tschudi's Pacific Iguana is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Lima (21 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
