Birding in Punta del Este: Coast and Lagoons Trip - 1 Day

Duration: 07:00 to 15:00 (depends on customer schedule) Starting off at Punta del Este, we will travel around the coast in order to watch the birds that inhabit the aquatic and marine environments in that area: Punta Salinas, Punta de la Virgen, Punta Ballena, Laguna del Diario and estuary of Maldonado’s Stream. If times permit we will reach Laguna José Ignacio and will watch some parches of coastal woodlands (Monte Costero), one of the most typical –and at the same time most endangered- ecosystems in Uruguay. We will return to Punta del Este on time.
