Beagle Birding

Sierran and Dry Chaco Forest

Information

DESCRIPTION

San Javier is one of the most picturesque towns in the valley, harmonious and English-style, its centuries-old mansions give a touch of distinction to the mountain landscape, the result is of an exquisite beauty that fortunately has been preserved intact by its inhabitants, many of them plastic artists and craftsmen.

In San Javier, we visit different sites of the Sierran and Dry Chaco Forest, a beautiful mountain area nestled in the foothills. There, we find several of the Argentine near endemics and specialties such as Black-bodied Woodpecker, Scimitar-billed Woodcreeper, Green-barred Woodpecker, Lark-like Brushrunner, and some small jewels like the Red-tailed Comet and the Olive-crowned Crescent-chest can be found.

Our goal is for you to be able to cross out as many species as possible in one day!
