Agustín Esmoris is an Argentinian birding guide and professional wildlife photographer. He has led hundreds of custom birding and nature tours throughout Patagonia and central Argentina, adapting each outing to the interests and pace of his clients—whether it’s a single day in the field or a more comprehensive multi-day expedition.
As a passionate naturalist, Agustín serves as the official eBird reviewer for Eastern Patagonia, collaborating closely with the global birding community to validate and ensure the accuracy of regional bird observations. His dedication has also led him to publish scientific papers on endemic species (including the White-throated Cacholote, Black-crowned Monjita, Rusty-backed Monjita, and White-banded Mockingbird), and to author the field guide Birds of Península Valdés, a 12-year research project. Additionally, his photography has appeared in renowned publications such as National Geographic, the American Museum of Natural History magazine, Natural History magazine, and Lynx Edicions.
Agustín’s goal is to immerse travelers in the rich biodiversity of Eastern Patagonia. From spotting rare birds and marine mammals to sharing insights on local flora and paleontology, he tailors each tour to provide a deeper appreciation of the region’s wildlife and landscapes.
