We take you to the best spots in Argentina for the ultimate sourthern hemisphere birdwatching experience.
—>Want to see 68 species in one morning?Grow your life list with birds from the sourthern hemisphere, while still getting a taste of the vibrant Argentinian culture? This is your trip.
Your journey begins in Buenos Aires, a city that remarkably blends European elegance with premier urban birding. We start at the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, a sprawling 860-acre wetland on the edge of the Rio de la Plata. Here, against the backdrop of the city skyline, you may spot over 300 species, including the Southern Screamer, Coscoroba Swan, and the vibrant Scarlet-headed Blackbird. We will also visit the Ecoparque, a reclaimed urban oasis in Palermo perfect for close-up encounters with native waterfowl and the iconic Monk Parakeet.
A couple of hours outside the city, we’ll explore the legendary swamplands and marshes of the surrounding province (such as the Otamendi or Ceibas regions). These vast grasslands and river deltas are a birder's paradise, home to the Giant Wood Rail, Guira Cuckoo, and a spectacular array of flycatchers and raptors. As the autumn air thins the canopy, April provides exceptional visibility for spotting both resident specialists and late-season migrants across these diverse habitats.
In addition to growing your life list, there’s an incredible food scene to enjoy. Local chefs blend Argentinian produce with culinary influences from around the world. Are you ready for fresh Italian-style pasta? Steak, empanadas, and of course, local Malbec?
After your time in the capital, we take a two-hour flight to Puerto Iguazú, home to one of the world’s most breathtaking natural wonders. The Iguazú Falls consist of a chain of over 200 waterfalls cutting through a lush, subtropical rainforest filled with unique flora and fauna.
Our specialized birding guide will lead us on early morning excursions to catch the peak of avian activity. We will be on the lookout for vibrant regional specialties such as the Rufous-capped Motmot, White-eyed Parakeet, and the shimmering Violet-capped Wood-nymph. At sunset, keep your binoculars ready as Toucans fly overhead to their roosting spots. We will cap off our adventure with a signature night walk, searching the darkness for the well-camouflaged Common Potoo and the haunting calls of the Tropical Screech-Owl.
The breathtaking beauty of this area will be hard to say goodbye to. On Day 8, we’ll take an afternoon flight to Buenos Aires
In order to avoid an overnight flight, we’ll take the EARLY morning flight on Day 9 to the U.S.
¡Ciao for now, we hope you return soon!
