Itinerary

Flights are usually overnight flights with the arrival on the following day in the morning.
After our morning arrival in Buenos Aires, we will spend the day touring the city. Buenos Aires is a great city for walking. Buenos Aires has a population of 12 million people and the city is a major port at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata on the Atlantic Ocean. There are several good parks for birding. We will be staying in the city center, close to all the sites at the Hotel Reina.
There are several good parks for birding in Buenos Aires. We will be spending the day birding at Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur. Over 200 species of birds have been identified in this beautiful marshland and park. In the evening, its dinner and a tango show!
We will be flying (1.5 hours ) to the city of Posadas. In Posadas we will be staying at La Aventura at the edge of town on the Rio Paraná. The Rio Paraná is one of the major rivers that flow to the delta at Buenos Aires. There are 7 wooded acres here along the river.
Just outside of the city of Posadas is some very beautiful countryside. We will be visiting several different types of habitats in search of birds.
Accommodations: Posadas de la Laguna.
This day is always a potential day for a good adventure. The road from Posadas to Esteros del Ibera is about 120 miles of red dirt road. There is a lot to see along the way, including Greater Rheas, Jabirus and the Maguari Stork. This drive will take about 3 hours, unless it rains….
The Ibera is a vast marshland with open water covering about 3.2 million acres and is abundant with birds, caimans, deer, capybara, frogs, snakes and monkeys. It is the second largest wetlands in the world. Daily we will be taking the boat out to see what we can find. Just in this area we might see 150 different species of birds.
The Posada de la Laguna is located at the edge of a small village called Colonia Carlos Pelligrini. It is a nice area to walk around to find neighborhood birds. Posada de la Laguna is a wonderful lodge with excellent gourmet food. It is a very relaxing place with all the finer aspects of travel, but literally out in the middle of nowhere.
From the Ibera it is about a 6 hour through a very pretty countryside to El Soberbio. Just outside this small town is a large area of preserved subtropical rainforest. This area called Reserva de Biosfera Yobti & Esmeralda has an abundant and diverse wildlife population including Jaguars and we have seen the paw prints!
We will be staying at Posada la Bonita. Beautiful stone cabins at the edge of a deep forest. Down the side of the hill you will find a 50 foot waterfall that pours into a pool. It is fun to swim in the natural pool, as little fish nip at your toes!!
We will be walking the trails and roads around La Bonita. There is a lot of birds and wildlife to see here. The food and atmosphere here is wonderful and peaceful.
We will spend the day looking for birds in the Yaboti Reserve. It will be a slow 8 hour drive from La Bonita to San Pedro as we take our time to see this beautiful reserve.
Accommodation: Cabañas Los Suizos.
We will be visiting the Cruce Cabaliero Provincial Park to add a few additional birds to our list. Our birding guide for the day is Guy Cox. We will be staying at Hotel
Accommodation: La Sorgente.
It is a 4 hour bus ride from San Pedro to Iguazu. Iguazu Falls is a very special and incredibly spectacular place. We will be staying at the Hotel
Today you will have an opportunity to walk within the mist of the falls and hike the trails. Great Dusky Swifts will be flying in and out of the falls.
There are a lot of beautiful trails to explore in this area. You will find curious monkeys and Toucans along the way.
Accommodation: Rochester Classic Hotel
We will be flying back to Buenos Aires, about 2 hours. We will be staying in the city center at the hotel
Flights back to the States usually leave late in the evening so we will be leaving Buenos Aires on this day.
Flights usually are over night and so we will be arriving home in the morning.
