| This trip is an exciting birdwatching journey designed to discover the endemics and specialties of this long and narrow 'biogeographical island' of nearly 3,000 miles long. Besides enjoying birds and other wildlife, we will explore and enjoy Chile's marvelous landscapes, excellent infrastructure, and great cuisine. Chile is a land of huge contrasts, truly a geographic extravaganza. On this birding adventure we will explore Chile's incredibly diverse habitats, and we shall marvel at some of the most beautiful landscapes on Earth. From arid coastal hills and lush rainforests, the windswept steppes of Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia, to the impressive lakes and volcanoes of south-central Chile, our search for the avian specialties of this long and narrow country will take us from the high Andes to the cold and productive waters of the Humboldt Current. We will find many interesting species, some of them with very restricted distributional ranges and some that are little known outside of Chile. Chile is politically and economically the most stable country in South America and its the local people are very friendly towards bird watchers. Please contact us to get trip reports to get a good idea of the bird species you will see based upon our past experiences. |
