Holding some of the last remaining large tracts of pristine Atlantic Lowland Forest, cerrado savannas, grasslands and most of the vast thorny Chaco, Paraguay appeals as an excellent introduction to Neotropical birding, fantastic photographic opportunities and home to an interesting array of mammals. What’s more, this is a vast country with few inhabitants, and nowhere is this more noticeable than in the chaco, for many, the major attraction of the country. We’ll search for a handful of range-restricted species such as Strange-tailed and Cock-tailed Tyrants and Russet-winged Spadebill as well as encounter members of several core South America families with Greater Rhea, Red-legged Seriema, Black-capped Donacobius and Southern Screamer.
Strange-tailed & Cock-tailed Tyrants; Blue-tufted Starthroat; Purple-crowned Plovercrest; Russet-winged Spadebill; Greater Rhea; Red-legged Seriema; Black-capped Donacobius; Southern Screamer; Jabiru; Plumbeous & Buff-necked Ibises; Many-colored Chaco Finch; Chaco Chachalaca; Cream-backed Woodpecker; Scimitar-billed & Great Rufous Woodcreepers; Chaco Earthcreeper; Crested Hornero; Cinereous Tyrant; Black-capped Warbling Finch; Nanday, Maroon-bellied & Blue-crowned Parakeets; Scarlet-headed Blackbird; Bearded Tachuri; Crested Doradito; Yellow-rumped Marshbird; White-headed Marsh Tyrant; Rusty-collared, Double-collared, White-bellied, Tawny-bellied, Marsh & Dark-throated Seedeaters; Black-masked Finch; Green-headed Tanager.
Lowland Tapir; Southern Three-banded Armadillo; Puma (rare); Capybara; Azara's Agouti; Dwarf Patagonian Cavy (Chacoan Mara).

MODERATE TO CHALLENGING: This tour requires a good level of fitness, stamina, and overall health. It’s best suited for experienced birders who are comfortable with a more active itinerary. Please note that it may not be ideal for avid photographers, new birders, or those with mobility or health concerns.
This is a moderate to difficult tour. Most days start pre-dawn & end after dark. Several long travel days. You should have a good level of fitness & be in good health. Not suitable for dedicated or avid photographers; inexperienced birders; or anyone with mobility or health challenges. • Our Bird Photo Tours are a hybrid between our Classic birding tours and dedicated photographic tours. You don’t have to be a professional photographer or have the biggest lens; this is for everyone with an interest in photography and birding. Whether you’re using a bridge camera or the latest body and prime lens, our aims are the same. • These tours are not aimed at seeing the most species possible on the route, rather taking time to photograph key targets and any other interesting species we may find. Naturally, the overall species list will be lower than a comparable birding focused tour. • Whilst we may use blinds, feeders and hide setups on some of these tours, we will not be spending an entire day nor even several hours fixed in one spot. • These tours are suitable for photographers who prefer opportunistic photography over entire days in a hide. • Our leaders will assist in helping everyone secure good photographic opportunities and advise as much as they can on camera setup. However, they are not professional photographic tour leaders.
Comfortable in the large towns, a little more basic in remoter areas. Hot water is not always provided given the very hot environment.
Moderate to easy. Some headline species are low density.
Good to good+, can be very bright in open habitats. No hides or regular feeders, many species reasonably approachable, good lighting opportunities.
Great trip
Excellent tour. Accommodations were as good as could be expected given the isolated areas we needed to reach to see all the endemics. We saw them all. Dusan and the two local guides were exceptional at finding the birds and getting us on them. The vehicle fit our purpose, the luggage trailer was a great idea, and our driver Jose was very professional.
Our local guide was very nice; however his English language skills could be improved. The accommodation was very nice. I have told many people about Rockjumper. I value the time and effort spent in ensuring our trips are memorable. I can’t sing the praises of the office staff enough. Thanks so much. I’m already looking for my next trip with you. Katy
The guides continued their superb and tireless efforts to find bird species during the extension to the main tour.
The trip was run superbly from start to finish. The logistics, despite some difficulties imposed by weather conditions and countrywide fuel shortages, were impeccable and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Stephan did a superb job in ensuring that we all saw as many of the species as possible. He is an accomplished guide and I enjoy traveling with him.
