Maullín Tour + Birdwatching in Quenuir Bajo

At the indicated time we'll pick you up at your hotel and drive south towards Maullín. Once we arrive in Maullín, we'll have a tour of its main square and church. We will then attend an introductory talk about the wetlands of the commune WHSRN: the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network. After this, we'll head to the Maullín pier to take a boat to Quenuir Bajo.

From the pier we'll take a short walk to the wetland of Las Lajas. In this biodiverse area, where 53% of Chile's migratory birds are concentrated, we'll use binoculars and telephoto lenses. Depending on weather conditions and the time of year, we may see species such as flamingos, coscoroba swans, imperial and rock cormorants, black-necked swans, curlews, and pilpilens. Next to Las Lajas, we'll stop for a snack including a cereal bar, a sandwich, and a drink, with options of juice, tea, or coffee.

After the snack, we'll continue to the Quenuir Lagoon for more birdwatching before ending at the restaurant La Picá del Flamenco, where we'll have three empanadas containing Chilean meat, cheese, and seafood. After this, we'll return by boat to Maullín and then drive back to your hotel, arriving eleven hours after pickup.
