On this birdwatching tour on the Carretera Austral from Puerto Montt , we will spot bird species along this important Chilean route.
Birdwatching on the Carretera Austral
After pick-up at 11:00 am from your hotel in Puerto Montt, we will drive along the Carretera Austral to observe birds inhabiting the natural environment. First, we will pass through the fishermen's coves of Coihuin, Chamiza, and Piedra Azul before reaching the Pichi Quillaipe sector, then continue to the beach resort of Pelluco for a walk to see native birds.
If conditions are favorable, we expect to observe endemic species such as black-necked swans, southern pylons, and gulls. We will then visit the church of Santa Cruz de Pelluco and continue on the Carretera Austral to Piedra Azul, where we will make a brief stop for refreshments.
On the return journey via Chilean Route 7, we will try to spot additional birds like the cahuil and chucao. You will learn to distinguish them based on plumage, beak color, and trills. Finally, we will return to your hotel in Puerto Montt by 4:00 pm.
