Birding Tour Argentina: Southern Patagonia – Tierra del Fuego

This short tour of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina gives you the opportunity to explore southern Patagonia and the Tierra del Fuego National Park from the world’s most southerly city, Ushuaia. Apart from the sheer beauty of the area, including snow-capped peaks, mountain streams, and large beech forests, there is an assortment of important bird species which will be targeted. High on this list will be the huge Magellanic Woodpecker, which inhabits beech forests in Tierra del Fuego National Park, as well as White-bellied Seedsnipe, which is found above the tree line on a nearby mountain pass. Other range-restricted species which we hope to find include Flying Steamer Duck, Andean Goose, Yellow-bridled Finch, and Patagonian Sierra Finch.

White-bellied Seedsnipe can be seen on the Garibaldi Pass.
