Birding Patagonia
A six-day, five-night birding journey across the Strait of Magellan, Tierra del Fuego, Patagonian steppe, Torres del Paine and Sierra Baguales.
About this tour
Experience a broad cross-section of southern Patagonia on a private six-day birding journey with Patagonia Wild Watching. From Punta Arenas, the route connects the Strait of Magellan, Tierra del Fuego, Pali Aike, Torres del Paine and Sierra Baguales. Ferry crossings, coastal wetlands, open steppe, volcanic landscapes, Andean valleys and sub-Antarctic forest provide varied habitat and strong potential for regional specialties.
Key targets include Magellanic Plover, Andean Condor, King Penguin, Chilean Flamingo, Lesser Rhea, Magellanic Woodpecker, Austral Canastero, Ruddy-headed Goose, Spectacled Duck and Flying Steamer Duck, together with many other southern birds. The itinerary is designed for birders seeking diversity and landscapes rather than a single-site excursion. Accommodation, meals, private transport, guiding, optical gear, park fees and ferry tickets are included according to the confirmed itinerary, while the daily route remains responsive to weather and wildlife activity.
