Argentina Tierra Del Fuego

You will notice that there is no introduction to this section yet.

I would like to fill this gap with an introduction from a local birder [or someone who is a frequent visitor] for every on of the geographical pages. The many thousands of birders now regularly using these pages prefer to read something written by someone who can see the place from an insider's point of view. They know the best spots, not just the ones that first time overseas visitors usually visit or that are on the normal birding trip itineraries.

Each introduction carries the e-mail address of the contributor so that birders can get in touch with them if, for example, they are planning a trip [unless the contributor is unable to do this].

Please get in touch if you feel you can contribute an introduction to this page - you don't have to be an expert; I'm not!

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).
