Chile
From the arid deserts in the north, to the glacial waters of the south via its` cosmopolitan capital, pacific islands and beautiful landscape, birding in Chile can be breathtaking. (Its geography, size & shape does mean however, you are going to have to work to get those ticks!) Using Santiago as a base, several quality, yet varying, sites are twitchable in a day. Over on the coast try the Rio Aconcagua estuary at Con-Con for excellent close up views of the beautiful Many-Coloured Rush Tyrant. In surrounding areas venture up to the Penguin Rock at Cachagua as it also holds good spots as does the Laguna Peral site which is south of Valparaiso and is famed for its Black-Necked Swans. Travelling in the other direction head on up into the Andes and to El Yeso reservoir to get amongst other great birds, in particular the endemic Crag Chilia, the must-see Diademed Sandpiper Plover and, of course, the magnificent Andean Condor. To the north is La Campana National Park and Estero Lampa, and to the south Rio Clarillo National Park. Away from the capital you have the high altitude options around Putre and Lauca National Park with its three types of flamingos and the scenic wonder of snow capped volcanoes. There are various good sites around Concepcion including the massive estuary of the Bio-Bio River. Laguna Torca National Park, Lago Budi and Temuco`s city park [all of which I have personally visited] are all top quality sites. Whilst I have only heard that the extreme south of the Country is also good, I am sure that you will not be disappointed especially if you can get on a pelagic trip. There isn`t an abundance of birding data available on Chile, which on one hand is a shame but on the other hand gives you the feeling of being a pioneer in the field of birding. The under-mentioned books and websites do however provide excellent reference data and photos. During your birding here, unless you are in a group, your chances of meeting any other birders is zero, but Chile is a very safe place to go birding and well worth a visit. |

Nahuel Huapi National Park
http://www.argentour.com/NahuelHuapiNat.Park.htmThe Nahuel Huapi national park is the most important in Argentina. It is located in the southern part of the country near a city called Bariloche where the weather is extremely cold, especially during June and July.
Nahuel Huapi National Park
http://gosouthamerica.about.com/cs/southamerica/a/ArgNhlHuapi.htmThe Nahuel Huapi National Park ( from the araucano Nahuel: tiger and Huapi: island) extends over 750.000 hectareas ( 1.875.000 acres)of which 330.000 (825.000 acres)of them is a National Reserve. Situated in the southwest of Neuquén province and northwest of Río Negro, it stretches from the patagonian steppes to the high Andes.
Puyehue National Park
http://www.parquepuyehue.clThe spectacular Puyehue National Park is dominated by the maximum diversity of Nothofagus species, under which a dense undergrowth of Chusquea bamboo conceals a multitude of exciting but secretive tapaculos. One of the most spectacular is the huge Black-throated Huet-huet, 26 centimeters of black and chestnut plumes, which has a scolding, onomatopoeic call and a bird which positively vibrates as it broadcasts its deeply resonant song. In the Park you can see the Ochre-flanked Tapaculo, which is another monotypic genus and endemic to the Nothofagus forest. You can find some outstanding species including a number of specialty such as Bicoloured Hawk, Chilean Pigeon, Austral Pygmy-Owl, Green-backed Firecrown, the much sought-after Magellanic Woodpecker (South America's largest woodpecker), the tiny restless Des Murs's Wiretail and the poorly-known Patagonian Tyrant. Higher up, at the crater of the Volcan Raihuen, you can search for Dark-faced Ground-Tyrant and the striking Yellow-bridled Finch. If you want a place to stay in the park we are the solution, we are Hotel Thermas Puyehue and Aguas Calientes, both accommodations in the national park...
Reserva Rio Clarillo
http://www.chlorischile.cl/Libros/rioclarillo.htmRio Clarillo reserve is near Pirque, south of the main part of Santiago... ...you can see several Chilean endemics including the Dusky Tapaculo and White-throated Tapaculo as well as Chilean Tinamou and the common Chilean Mockingbird. The site to look for the two tapaculos is the trail that loops around the back of the park office, you may be able to find the local naturalist Carlos Sarmiento Sequel who may give you hand with locating birds...
Rio Cruces Nature Sanctuary
http://www.hualamo.com/5c.htm...Yet a vital wetland habitat for thousands of waterfowl and waders was formed. From this natural event onwards, this wetland was gradually colonized by aquatics plants and emergent vegetation was followed by a great number of animal species, especially waterbirds. For these reasons, the Ramsar Convention designated it as a Ramsar Site in 1981. At the same time, this area was declared a Nature Sanctuary by the Chilean government and has been protected since by the Corporación Nacional Forestal (CONAF)...

1998 [February] - Jan van der Laan
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/chile/chile2/Chili%20-%20frontpage.htmBetween January 24th and February 14th 1998 I visited Chile together with my girlfriend Marieke Wiringa (irrespectably called a non-Birding Spouse in birders terms). The main goal was to have a good and pleasant vacation, with some occasional birding. The itinerary was cunningly planned and while visiting nice places, I made it possible to see all 10 Chilean endemics plus the most wanted charadrid in South America, the Diademed Sandpiper-Plover. Chile is a very pleasant country (a well kept secret somebody told us); although a little bit expensive, but nowhere else we met more pleasant, easy-going and well-behaving people during this three week visit.
1999 [November] - Peter Browne and Han Spoel
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/chile/chile1/index.htmBecause of this report`s length, and because we visited three geographically separated areas, the trip report is divided into four sections...
2000 [March] - Greg Roberts - Santiago
http://maybank.tripod.com/SouthAmerica/Chile-03-2000.htmWe stayed overnight in Santiago en route to and returning from Ecuador. On March 3, we made a brief visit to El Yeso Reservoir, in the Andes east of the capital.
2000 [October] - John van der Woude
http://home-1.worldonline.nl/~jvanderw/#chileFrom 15 to 19 October we made a side trip to northernmost Chile from our main birding trip to Bolivia. For an introduction, see the report of the main trip...
2001 - Ignaas Robbe - Iquique
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/chile/chile3/iquique.htmIquique is a pleasant coastal town in Chile`s I-region (Tarapaca, North Chile). Iquique has about 250000 people and the population is growing.. It absolutely never rains here and the Atacama desert surrounding this city is extremely dry and supports no life whatsoever (apart from its typical breeding Grey Gulls) . The cool seabreeze coming from the Humboldt current compensates for the heat coming from the desert – so, this city has a very dry (but at times humid due to the fog coming from the pacific) but pleasant climate with almost daily sunshine...
2001 [December] - John Penhallurick
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/chile/chile4/chile-nov2001.htmI have just returned from a fantastic birding trip to Chile. I had a target list of 98 life species, of which I managed 94...
2001 [July] - Saul Cowen
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/argentina/arg7/arg-chile2001.htmNext day, the weather was too bad to drive across the Andes so we flew from Mendoza to Santiago De Chile, which was turbulent to say the least. Once we had arrived in Santiago the weather had not improved although this didn`t seem to bother the Chimango Caracaras and Austral Thrushes which were present in good numbers. Shining Cowbirds and Austral Blackbirds were also seen. We just relaxed around the city for the rest of the day...

2002 [March] - Mark T Adams
http://maybank.tripod.com/SouthAmerica/Chile-03-2002.htmWhile in Chile for business in early March, I took a couple personal days to go birding around Santiago. Through recommendations from Birdchatters earlier this year, I contacted a knowledgable Chilean ornithologist who also guides (and very well); Michel Sallaberry. He suggested that we divide my two days into one day along the Pacific coast and a second day in the Andes...
2002 [May] - Greg Roberts
http://maybank.tripod.com/SouthAmerica/Chile-05-2002.htmWith Glenn Scherf, we flew from Santiago to Arica, where he hired a vehicle, for the northern sector. A second vehicle was hired in Santiago for the central sector. Two days of continuous rain towards the end of the trip scuttled plans to visit El Yeso and limited observations at La Campana...
2002 [November] - Gruff Dodd
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/chile/chile7/report-nov-02.htmChile was a destination which Sara and I had fancied for many years – the combination of good birding with lots of Chilean and Patagonian endemics, and a modern infrastructure combined with superb scenery added up to a total experience which seemed hard to beat. Our appetites were whetted further by a visit to Ecuador in September 2001, our first South American trip, which included some high altitude Andean birding...
2003 [January] - Neil Osborne & Gillian Webster
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/chile/chile9/chile-02-03.htmChile is a great place to go birding- the scenery is spectacular, the people friendly and the country has something of a European feel. Learning a little Spanish helps as many people do not speak much English...
2004 [October] - Steve Bird
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/birdseekers/feb05/Chile/Chile-2004.htm...Travelling towards the coast we soon spotted numerous Chimango Caracaras, while Southern Lapwings were everywhere. A brief stop was then made when a Harris Hawk was seen fighting with a Chimango Caracara. On the telephone wires we saw lots of Long-tailed Meadowlarks before we made a stop to pick up some bottles of water. Behind the café in a small area of garden we saw several very bright Rufous-collared Sparrows, birds which we would encounter throughout the length and breadth of Chile. Also here were Austral Thrushes, House Wren, Shiny Cowbird, a very showy Common Diuca-Finch, White-crested Elaenia, and some distant Chilean Mockingbirds...
2005 [December] - Stephen Greenfield
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/chile/chile10/chile-dec-05.htmThis is a report on birding in central Chile (from regions IV to IX) between 15 December 2005 and 3 January 2006. It concentrates on logistical information and updates on established sites and information on sites not covered in Pearman's or Wheatley's guides or trip reports available on the Web (see references below), particularly Conguillío National Park, which was excellent, and Radal-Siete Tazas National Reserve...
2006 [December] - Paul Prevett & Candy McManiman
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/chile/chile-14/chile-dec-2006.htmThis is a very brief overview intended to provide a bare-bones backdrop. Information on specific sites appears in the itinerary and the daily log later in the report, where important birds are also highlighted...
2006 [January] - Alex Bevan
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/chile/chile12/chile-jan-2006.htmAfter visiting Patagonia & Tierra del Fuego in January 2004, a two week trip to Chile seemed the natural next step, in terms of a gentle introduction to South American birding. As we had visited the far south during our Argentina trip, we limited our time in Chile to northern and central areas...
2006 [November] - Julian & Sandra Hughes
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/chile/chile-13/chile-nov-06.htmHaving not visited South America, Chile seemed a good place to start, especially as it is the only jump-off point for the Falkland Islands, where we wanted to visit some friends and do some more birding. We spent two weeks in Chile in late November 2006, followed by a week in the Falklands in early December, the subject of a separate trip report. Having researched sites visited by other birders, we realised that in just two weeks it was impractical to visit sites north and south of Santiago, so we visited three areas: Santiago, the Lake District and Chiloe (from Puerto Montt), and Torres del Paine and Tierra del Fuego (from Punta Arenas). Even this involved a fair amount of travelling, and I would recommend not trying to rush a visit this country; we can always go back to the north...
2007 [January] - Mark Fynn - Birdwatching Breaks
http://www.birdwatchingbreaks.com/Chile_TripReport07.htmChile proved to be a wonderful destination once again with this our fourteenth tour since 1994. Our journey took us from the extreme south including Tierra del Fuego and Torres del Paine to the arid north of Arica and the Atacama Desert. In between visits to Chiloe Island, Santiago and the central Chilean coast was made. In total we observed 286 species of birds including many sought after species notably Chatham Islands Albatross, Masatierra Petrel, Magellanic Plover, Diademed Sandpiper Plover, Burrowing Parrot, Magellanic Woodpecker, Band-tailed Earthcreeper, all the tapaculos, canasteros and huet-huets and the majority of High Andean species...

Aves de Chile
http://www.avesdechile.cl/In Spanish: Cuando salimos a terreno observamos las distintas especies de aves que habitan el paisaje. Pero también procuramos estar atentos a las que no están. Vemos como desaparecen y vemos como se degrada el entorno. Sabemos que la especie más común es el hombre y su basura, la marca geográfica más habitual las llantas de vehículos. ¿Por qué ?, porque ya habrá tiempo para salvar, y hoy estamos muy ocupados en otros asuntos. Si cada uno de nosotros no esperara para tener estudios, o que surjan otros que se preocupen de buscar las respuestas, y en ves de ello mirásemos con mayor tranquilidad, sin pretensiones, y recuperásemos nuestra capacidad de contemplar, quizás lentamente los cambios se hicieran más evidentes, al entendernos parte de lo observado. Quizás sea mucho decir, o esperar, hoy no nos queda más que la convicción de que lo visto ahora, probablemente no estará mañana.
