Penguins and Chile's Endemics - Coastal Range for Endemics and Seabirds along the Pacific Coast - Birding day tour from Santiago or Valparaiso, Chile

Birding and nature photography trip to the Coastal Range and the Pacific Coast in search of the endemics and specialties of Chile's Mediterranean region. We will explore the broad-leaf woodlands, scrublands and cacti-covered slopes, looking for skulking tapaculos and canasteros. Along the coast we will concentrate in finding the endemic seabirds of the Humboldt Current including cormorants, Inca Terns and Humboldt Penguins. This moderate tour is suitable for cruise passengers with restricted time at the ports of call.

Full day tour (10-12 hours) from Santiago de Chile or Valparaiso | Daily departures throughout the year.

Penguins & Chile's Endemics | Day Tour | Trip Code SCL02

Versión en Español / Spanish version

Early in the morning, we will leave to La Campana National Park, where we will look for interesting passerines, including some endemic species to Chile, such as the Dusky-tailed Canastero, Moustached Turca and White-throated Tapaculo. We are also likely to encounter the remarkable Giant Hummingbird, Austral Pygmy Owl and Chilean Pigeon. In the afternoon we will continue exploring the coastal areas, visiting a protected breeding colony of Humboldt Penguin; we hope to be able to see here the scarce and range-restricted Southern Sea Otter. To end the day we will stop in a coastal marsh to see a variety of waterfowl including Red Shoveler, Yellow-billed Pintail, Speckled Teal and Chiloe Wigeon, all three lowland coot species, Spot-flanked Gallinule and Plumbeous Rail, which surprisingly is a rallid quite easy to spot as often walks in the open.

Trataremos de observar al endémico Churrete Costero y otras especies únicas de la Corriente de Humboldt tales como el Cormorán Lile y el Guanay, el Piquero Común, la Gaviota Garuma y el bellísimo Gaviotín Monja. Durante la tarde visitaremos la desembocadura del Río Maipo y humedales costeros circundantes como la Reserva Laguna El Peral, donde nos concentraremos en encontrar al críptico Huairavillo, el parasítico Pato Rinconero y el impactante Sietecolores. Aquí tendremos oportunidad de encontrar al escaso y local Pájaro Amarillo.
