Argentina Birding Tours

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.
