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 tour its main square and church.

We'll attend a brief talk about the wetlands of the commune WHSRN: the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network. After this presentation, we'll head to Maullín pier to take a boat to Quenuir Bajo.

From the pier, we'll take a short walk to the wetland of Las Lajas. This area, with considerable biodiversity, hosts 53% of Chile's migratory birds, and we'll use binoculars and long-range telephoto lenses.

Depending on weather conditions and the time of year, we'll see different species such as flamingos, coscoroba swans, imperial and rock cormorants, black-necked swans, curlews, and pilpilens. Nearby Las Lajas, we'll stop for a snack including a cereal bar, a sandwich, and a drink (juice, tea, or coffee).

After the snack, we'll walk to Quenuir Lagoon for more bird watching, ending our tour at restaurant La Picá del Flamenco, where we'll have three empanadas (meat, cheese, and seafood). Then, we'll return by boat to Maullín and drive back to your hotel, arriving eleven hours after pickup.
