Patagonia Birds & Wildlife with Canadian Geographic
From: $500 CAD
On this tour with Canadian Geographic we explore Patagonia, a land of incredible landscapes filled with abundant marine and terrestrial wildlife. Southern Chile and Argentina offer exceptional close-up viewing of birds and mammals, where one can find King, Gentoo and Magellanic Penguins—as many species of penguins as an average Antarctic journey! Even Leopard Seals are a possibility!
In the mountains and on the pampas we find accessible puma (mountain lion) viewing below the spires of Torres del Paine National Park. We’ll be guaranteed to observe and photograph guanacos, rheas, and condors roaming free in their natural settings, and with some patience we hope to see puma up close. A great assortment of breeding birds will be on display, including Austral Parakeet, Chilean Flamingo, Chocolate-vented Tyrant, Flightless Steamer-Duck and perhaps the endangered Magellanic Plover.
In Argentina we’ll enjoy the food and wine culture, while in Chile the quaint atmosphere and friendly locals will further enrich our experience. Chilean wine isn’t so bad either, paired with the finest of seafood.
