Argentina Birding Tours

Summary of tours

We offer a wide selection of birding tours in Argentina, presenting you with the opportunity to experience the incredible diversity of birds and habitats that this vast country has to offer. From the picturesque landscapes of Patagonia, where we search for Hooded Grebe and Magellanic Woodpecker, to birding in Northwest Argentina’s biodiverse Yungas forests in search of Rufous-throated Dipper and Yellow-striped Brushfinch, or the serene high-Andes where we look for the iconic Diademed Sandpiper-Plover, birding in Argentina combines localized birds with spectacular scenery. The Northeast is no less impressive, with its spectacular Iberá Marshlands and the awe-inspiring Iguazu Falls. Our Argentina birding tours are between seven and 17 days long, and can be combined back-to-back to target as many Argentine endemic birds as possible.

Introduction to Argentina

Argentina is the second-largest country in South America and a famous travel destination, with our Argentina birding tours allowing you to see a vastly different assortment of Argentina bird species. Our Argentina birding tours visit the bird-rich tropics in the north and also visit Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego in the south where only the hardiest of species survive. For those travelers familiar with the country it is difficult to imagine Argentina without legendary tango dancing, exquisite wine, the iconic figures of Eva Perón and Diego Maradona, the religious passion for football, tasty beef, the European influence on the architecture, noisy coffee shops, gauchos in the countryside, and the infallible herbal mate tea.

However, for birdwatchers, Argentina goes far beyond these cultural aspects, with a country list of 1064 bird species including 16 endemics, making Argentina one of the top birding destinations in South America. A birding trip in the southern part of the southern hemisphere does not result in a huge list of birds like tours in Colombia, Peru, or Ecuador; instead we focus on extremely high quality and fantastic species.

Testimonials from our Argentina birding tours

My trip to Argentina was amazing! We always see huge numbers of species on Birding Ecotours trips, and this one was no exception. Add to that the scenery in the Andes, among the most spectacular anywhere; meanwhile, accommodations, arrangements, and guiding were fully up to Birding Ecotours’ usual standards. Eduardo is a great guide, always watching out for our welfare as well as finding the birds, and Diego was one of the more knowledgeable – and friendly – local guides we have had in years. As my trip focused on the northwest, I look forward to visiting the rest of this wonderful country soon.
