The Heart of Chile

Jan 21, 2022 —

Jan 31, 2022

Trip Dates: January 21 – 31, 2022

Optional Southern Patagonia Extension:  January 31 – February 2, 2022

Birding Chile is a quest aimed at discovering the endemics and specialties of this 3,000-mile long and narrow biogeographical country.  Chile is a land of huge contrasts, truly a geographic extravaganza. On this birding adventure we will explore Chile’s incredibly diverse habitats and marvel at some of the most beautiful landscapes on Earth, while enjoying top-class hotels and cuisine.  From Mediterranean scrub to the windswept steppes of Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia, our search for the avian specialties of this long and narrow country will take us from the high Andes to the cold and productive waters of the Humboldt Current in the Pacific. We will find many interesting species, some of them with very restricted distributional ranges and some endemic to the country.

 

Trip Highlights:

  • Three (3) pelagic trips and 4 ferry rides offering great opportunities for pelagic specialties of the eastern Pacific and Southern Ocean.
  • The magnificent Andean Condor and Magellanic Woodpecker and stunning waders including Diademed Sandpiper-Plover, Magellanic Plover, Tawny-throated Dotterel, Rufous-chested Dotterel and Two-banded Plover.
  • Up to nine endemic species including Slender-billed Parakeet, Crag Chilia, Moustached Turca and White-throated Tapaculo. We will also search for the quasi-endemic Chestnut-throated Huet-huet.
  • A spectacular system of national parks and nature reserves protecting some of the most beautiful places on Earth.
