Itinerary:

Departure and arrival: Montevideo.

On the first five days we will cover the North and the West of the country. We will travel across areas of park-like woodlands, riverside woodlands and hawthorn forests, all of them typical from the banks of river Uruguay, watching several species that hibernate in these milieus such as White-tipped Plantcutters (Phytotoma rutila), White-banded Mockingbirds (Minus triurus) and  Black-crowned Monjitas (Xolmis coronata), among others.

The next stage of the route takes place along the South and the East, within the Bañados del Este Biosphere Reserve. We will travel across areas of Palm groves, coastal lagoons, estuaries and coastline in order to watch both hibernating species as well as the first nesting birds belonging to several species of anatidae and limicolae. We will also be able to spot reed birds such as Curve-billed and Straight-billed Reedhaunters (Limnornis curvirostris and Limnornis rectirostris)  -species which are only found at the marshes of La Pampa- as well as Black and white Monjitas (Xolmis dominicanus) and Saffron cowled Black-birds (Agelaius flavus), among others. We will pay special attention to the hibernating coastal birds which are visible from the shore, with the option of taking a boat trip (not included in the price of the route) in order to enhance the chances of spotting species such as Wandering Albatros (Diomedea exulans), Black-browed Albatros (Diomedea melanophrys) and  Southern Giant Petrel (Macronectes giganteus), among others
