This activity is particularly interesting for those who are taking their first steps into the birding world.

If you have not been to South America before, almost all species and even bird families will be new to you.
Even if you are an accomplished birder, this tour can yield new sightings and ticks. Some rarities for Uruguay can be seen here: nesting Southern Martins, Patagonian migrants like White-tipped Plantcutters, Straneck's Tyrannulets, and White-banded Mockingbirds, and the elusive South American Painted-Snipe.INCLUDESTransport to and from the tour is free for up to 4 travelersBottled waterBird species checklistSnacksCoffee and/or TeaEXCLUDESTour participants are recommended to bring their own binoculars.Transport fee above 4 travelers is not included in the tour priceMEETING AND PICKUPMeeting pointBastión de Santa RitaMeeting point is the small car park next to the pier entrance, at the waterside.
