This tour provides the most comprehensive coverage of areas that are seldom visited by birding trips, and the best chances to find their specialties. The flatlands of the Pampas are the quintessence of Argentina. They are covered by grasslands that support cattle and agriculture, and by wetlands that hold a rich bird life year-round. This trip will take you to look for special birds such as the localized Pampas Meadowlark and Chaco Pipit (two species virtually never covered by birding trips), as well as Bay-capped Wren-Spinetail and the reed-bed specialists Wren-like Rushbird and Many-colored Rush-Tyrant. Large numbers of water birds are found here, including coots, ducks, grebes, herons and storks. The local Black-headed Duck and the elegant Black-necked Swan are also found.

South of here are the Monte brushlands, home to most of Argentina's endemic bird species. Sandy Gallito, White-throated Cacholote, Cinnamon Warbling-Finch and Carbonated Sierra-Finch are the most prominent, together with the endangered Yellow Cardinal, and Crested Gallito, Black-crowned Monjita and Hudson's Black-Tyrant. Further south the landscape becomes an arid steppe, home to Darwin's Rhea, Rusty-backed Monjita, Guanacos and Patagonian hare. The tour ends at the mythical Valdes Peninsula and the massive Magellanic Penguin colony at Punta Tombo.
