What are the best places for birding in Argentina?

For a birding trip to Argentina, 14 to 21 days is an ideal starting point if you want to experience several of the country’s major birding regions. If you have less time, excellent 3-to-7-day trips are also possible by focusing on one region.

Argentina is a large country with very different ecosystems. Patagonia, the Iberá Wetlands, Iguazú, Northwest Argentina and the Pampas each have their own bird communities, so the ideal trip length depends mainly on your target species and the regions you want to visit.
