This bird-watching holiday in Tierra De Fuego takes you to some of the country’s less visited regions, where stunning landscapes and rich and varied bird life are par for the course. From the northern grasslands of Tierra Del Fuego, crossing of the Fuegian Andes to Fagnano and Escondido Lakes, to the High Andes vegetation of the Martial Glacier area, you will see a wide variety of bird species. Also included is a boat tour in the Beagle Channel up to the Magellanic Penguin colony.

This is a private, tailor made tour, and you’ll be accompanied by a full time, bilingual expert local wildlife guide. The price includes all meals, accommodation and drinking water as well as private transport in an air-conditioned 4WD car and entrance fees for national parks and reserves. The tour can be easily combined with one of our other wildlife tours to make a bird and animal watching extravaganza.
