Argentina Patagonia

Guira Cuckoo [Pirincho] Guira guira Š Luis Alberto Valenzuela Riquelme

Patagonia is not a province of Argentina but a well-known area extending into several provinces and a bio-faunal region. I give it its own page as there are trip reports for the area and some conservation organisations which cover it.

I would welcome an introduction by a local birder or someone who has visited there...

1994 [December] - Jan Vermeulen

http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/argentina/arg3/argen1.htm
The following report is based on a birding trip to Argentina in November and December 1994. I was accompanied by Vital van Gorp and Eric Wille. The most suitable time for visiting Argentina is during the spring/summer months, October to March. During these months one can be reasonably assured of fairly good weather in the extreme south (Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego).

Birdwatching in Patagonia

http://www.satlink.com/usuarios/s/seebirds/
In the heart of the Patagonian semi-desert is located the Province of Chubut. To the northeast of it is extended the Valdés Peninsula, home of the Southern-Right Whale and the only continental breeding colony of Southern Elephant-Seals. Also on the Atlantic coast of Chubut is Punta Tombo, the biggest nesting colony of Magellanic Penguins that exists in the world, with a population of more than 500,000 breeding birds.

Patagonia Discovery

http://www.patagonia-discovery.com/nosotros/usengl.htm
We have been exploring Patagonia for almost twenty years. Patagonia is, to us, a place and at the same time, much more: a state of mind, a dream, a hope, a lifestyle. Years of mountain climbing, following highways across the steppes and exploring the most distant sites of its coast. Some of us producing images, others studying animal behavior in places which have stayed still in time, and others going from adventure to adventure.
