North Ravines and Birding the Uruguay River Tour
This 5-day Uruguay River Birding and North Ravines Tour is a leisurely-paced trip available on request where you can expect to see around 160 species of bird, including two endemics (depending on the season and luck!) and other wildlife species. This Uruguay River Birding itinerary runs across the far north of Uruguay, the wildest and pristine Uruguay, the genuine gaucho’s land that is made for a beautiful landscape of wet ravines and sierras-grassland.
Esteros de Farrapos National Park
During this Uruguay River birdwatching tour, you will spend two days birding in the Esteros de Farrapos National Park, which is an Important Bird Area because of the presence of several endangered bird species like the Saffron-cowled Blackbird, Black-and-white Monjita and the Chestnut Seedeater; and other large numbers of waterbird species that occur here.
The west banks of the Uruguay River, which runs through this National Park, is an interesting mixture of wet grassland, small lagoons, river forest and park-like forest called Algarrobal which is an extension of the Chaco sited inland of the continent.
North Ravines
Located in the northwest of the country, we will only focus on the Laureles’ River Valley site in the Cuchilla de Haedo’s mountain range. This is a special area for birdwatching due to the well-preserved habitats offering an amazing landscape of upland meadows and ravines
