Bird-Watching in Tierra del Fuego

Seeking Out Local and Migratory Bird Population Set out in search of local birdlife during drives to various well-known birding sites around Ushuaia. Tierra del Fuego National Park offers a variety of habitats, with its diverse landscape encompassing lush forests, wildflower-filled meadows, waterfalls and glaciers creating a home for around 90 bird species. Meet your knowledgeable guide, then board your motor coach for a journey through the park, making several stops for time to bird-watch. Depending on the time of year, you may be able to see giant woodpeckers, black-faced ibis and austral pygmy owls in the dense beech forests, as well as kelp goose and steamer ducks along the coast.
