Full Day Birdwatching and Nature Tour
A birding tour during your stay in Colonia can be a great chance to experience and learn about the more natural aspect of the city, especially if you´ve already been to the more typical historical sites. Colonia is a highly touristic city, but ecotourism is not exploited in the least. To date there are no other local operators which provide ecotourism services.
Colonia Birding offers nature tours to any nature enthusiasts who would like to get to know our rich biodiversity. At the same time, this would provide income to local communities, thus promoting conservation and awareness of natural areas and species, something much needed.
Furthermore, your guide is a professional biologist and ornithologist with ample field experience. He´s worked in diverse research projects accross Uruguay, where he's learned much during long field hours, not only about birds but also the natural life of Uruguay in general. He is bilingüal in spanish and english, and sometimes ventures into portuguese.
ItineraryColonia Birding will take you on bird watching and nature tours within the city of Colonia del Sacramento and the surrounding countryside.
Around 200 species of birds can be seen in the area. Many of these are specially appealing to tourists from other continents because endemic bird families from the Americas and South America are well represented. More widespread birds such as waterbirds, raptors, and pigeons are also common, although many species from these groups will be new to the overseas visitor.
Tours are aimed for anybody ranging from general public and nature enthusiasts to hardcore birders. Focus is on bird watching but you will also see and learn about other fauna, flora, the neighbouring ecosystems, and local fossils.
Tours are carried out on foot if in the city itself, and by a mix of driving and short walks if visiting the nearby countryside. Distances are short, so a combination of different sites can be arranged for rich full-day trips. It is up to you to choose which places will be visited. Depending on your preferences we can put together a full-day experience to match your personal interests.
