Our very comprehensive, 18 day Paraguay birding & wildlife tour takes in all of Paraguay’s diverse habitats, ranging from Humid Chaco, Dry Chaco and Cerrado to the endemic and species-rich Atlantic Forest. High on our priority list are the “Chaco Big 6” - Quebracho Crested Tinamou, Chaco Owl, Crested Gallito, Black-bodied Woodpecker, Black-legged Seriema and Spot-winged Falconet, with other outstanding species including the globally endangered White-winged Nightjar, Helmeted Woodpecker, Strange-tailed and Cock-tailed Tyrants, plus a plethora of scarce seedeaters. Not only a great introduction to Neotropical birding, this tour also offers the best opportunity to clear up all those dips and difficult species from northern Argentina, southern Brazil and Bolivia. Aside from the multitude of birds, the mammal populations are staggering, with no less than 8 species of cat including Puma and Jaguar, all three South American peccaries, Lowland Tapir, Maned Wolf and a horde of deer, armadillos, monkeys and rodents.
