Wildlife Tours in Chile

In a country known as the ‘spine of South America’ wildlife tours in Chile offer trips to many distinct ecosystems. These include the most arid place in the world, the Atacama Desert, where the animals are uniquely adapted to their inhospitable environment. Or you could explore the famous Torres de Paine National Park in search of Pumas, Guanacos – that wild South American camelid – and Patagonian Skunks.

Birding adventures are to be found all over this country. A trip to the Straits of Magellan in the far south, for instance, will afford opportunities of seeing Black-browed Albatross and Southern Giant Petrel as well as Humpbacked and Sei Whales and Magellanic Penguins. There are 100 protected areas to go on a wildlife tour in Chile, sheltering plenty of wildlife. More than 530 bird species (14 of which are endemic), about 148 mammal species (18 endemic) and 4,295 plants are to be found here.

And wildlife tours in Chile can be flexible. Trips to see the country’s avian delights can be arranged from half a day to a full 18 days of birding. Target species include Humboldt Penguin, Chilean Skua, Cinereous Conebill, Chestnut-Throated Seedeater, Burrowing Owl, Andean Goose and Mountain Caracara among many, many others.
