Maullín Tour + Birdwatching in Quenuir Bajo

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel and drive to Maullín. Upon arrival, we'll tour the main square and church. Following this, we'll attend an introductory talk about the wetlands of the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network. After the presentation, 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, which houses 53% of Chile's migratory birds. We'll use binoculars and long-range telephoto lenses. Depending on the weather and time of year, we may see different species such as flamingos, coscoroba swans, imperial and rock cormorants, black-necked swans, curlews, and pilpilens. We'll stop for a snack that includes a cereal bar, a sandwich, and a drink (juice, tea, or coffee).

After the snack, we'll continue to Quenuir Lagoon for more bird watching, ending the tour at the restaurant La Picá del Flamenco for three Chilean meat, cheese, and seafood empanadas. Afterward, we'll return to the pier and take the boat back to Maullín, arriving back at your hotel eleven hours after pickup.
