Birding in Los Glaciares National Park and Tierra del Fuego
- Duration: 9 days
- Season: October to March
Los Glaciares National Park in southern Patagonia, is one of the best places for birding due to the diversity and abundance of bird life, in habitats such as austral beech forests, Patagonian steppes and wetlands, giving us the chance to spot species such as the Black-chested buzzard-eagle, Andean condors, Austral pygmy owl, Magellanic woodpecker (the largest woodpecker in South America), Least seedsnipe, Upland and Ashy-headed geese, Magellanic plover, the White-crested elaenia, and Chilean flamingos.
A drive to some of the lakes and wetlands of the Strobel Plateau will give us the chance to see nesting Cinereous harrier, the rare Austral rail and the endangered Hooded grebe, two rarities of South Patagonia.
We suggest you combine this fascinating region with Tierra del Fuego, where we will add many marine and mountain species such as the Kelp goose, the Imperial and Rock cormorants, the Magellanic diving-petrel, the Black-browed albatross, the Dolphin gull, Magellanic and gentoo penguins, White-bridled finch and many others.
