Specialties: Endemic Birds & Iconic Wildlife of Argentina Patagonia

Discover Argentina’s Endemic Birds on Expert-Led Birding Tours

There are 15 endemic birds of Argentina (species exclusively found here). During our Patagonian tours, you’ll spot 6 of these rare species, including the Patagonian Canastero, White-throated Cacholote, Carbonated Sierra Finch, Steinbach’s Canastero (also known as Chestnut Canastero), the Sandy Gallito (tapaculo) and the Chubut Steamer-duck (a.k.a. White-headed Steamer-duck). Additionally, we’ll encounter near-endemics and endemic breeding species, such as the Band-tailed Earthcreeper, Rusty-backed Monjita, Lesser Shrike-Tyrant, Black-crowned Monjita, Burrowing Parakeet, Elegant Crested-tinamou, Straneck’s Tyrannulet, and more. We’ll also have the chance to observe other fascinating species, including the Snowy Sheathbill, White-tipped Plantcutter, and Least Seedsnipe.

Patagonian Canastero meticulously crafting its nest using thorny branches from the piquillin and barba de chivo plants. With unparalleled skill, it transforms nature’s prickly defenses into a safe haven for its future offspring.

At the heart of our passion for birding lies a strong commitment to conservation. We actively support NGOs through donations and memberships, contributing to the preservation of bird species and their habitats.

To minimize the impact on the birds and the environment, our tours are limited to a small number of participants. Additionally, we adhere to the ethical guidelines of birding conduct and strictly follow the American Birding Association’s Principles of Birding Ethics.

Snowy Sheathbill (Chionis albus) perched on the cliffs of Península Valdés—an Antarctic native that breeds along the Antarctic Peninsula and surrounding islands, yet ventures north to Patagonia and the Falklands when not breeding. Its all-white plumage, pinkish face, and land-foraging habits make it a striking sight on these shores.
