Maullín Tour + Birdwatching in Quenuir Bajo

At the scheduled time, we will pick you up at your hotel and drive south towards Maullín. Upon arrival, we will tour the main square and church.

A brief introductory talk about the wetlands of WHSRN: the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network will be held. After this, we will move to the Maullín pier to take a boat to Quenuir Bajo.

From the pier, we will walk to the wetland of Las Lajas, an area of great biodiversity, where 53% of Chile's migratory birds are located. Binoculars and long-range telephoto lenses will be provided.

Depending on the season and weather, we might observe species such as flamingos, coscoroba swans, imperial and rock cormorants, black-necked swans, curlews, and pilpilens. A snack, including a cereal bar, sandwich, and a drink (juice, tea, or coffee), will be provided near the Las Lajas wetland.

After the snack, we will walk to the Quenuir Lagoon for further bird watching, concluding our tour at the restaurant La Picá del Flamenco, where we will enjoy three empanadas (meat, cheese, and seafood).

After the meal, we will return to the pier for the boat ride back to Maullín, followed by a road return to your hotel, arriving eleven hours after pickup.
