Birdwatching in Argentina
Africa is the continent of mammals, Australia the one of marsupials, and South America the continent of the birds. Around 8,600 bird species inhabit the planet, of which nearly 3,000 can be found in South America alone.
Argentina is located in the southern end of South America, and mostly lies under the tropics. It’s rich bird life (+ 1000
species) has to do with the diversity of habitats: lowland and mountain humid subtropical forest in the North, swamps and grassland in the East, dry woodland in the centre, high plateaus in the Northwest, barren Patagonian steppes in the South, the lush sub Antarctic beech forest in the extreme South, and over 2.000 km of Atlantic coastline.
Being the second largest country in South America after Brazil and 10th in the world, Argentina can only be covered by several local guides, each one taking care of its own local area. They work as a Co-Op, coordination from Buenos Aires to ensure every trip is not just a collection of places, but a well planned, intense, and a smoothly running birding experience.
"The falls of Iguazú in the North East"
Tourism all over Argentina is becoming a major activity, and services and infrastructure (roads, communications, hotels, health services, etc) are very good, so you can expect appropriate services in all destinations. Argentina main economic activity is agricultural and food producing, so you can expect excellent beef, vegetables, fruits, baked goods, fish and dairy products. Being the fifth biggest producer in the world, high quality wine is available anywhere. Not surprisingly, you can find a wide variety of food with a strong Italian influence.
