What To Expect

We will explore the natural wealth of this incredible urban reserve in downtown Buenos Aires with an experienced bird watching guide and professional photographer. Watch the wildlife of the city with different eyes! • Hike the trails: we will tour circuits looking for birds, flora and wildlife in the gallery forest, lagoons and views over the Rio de la Plata. • Identification of birds and native fauna: the reserve has more than 300 species of birds and is a site recognized for its biodiversity. • Photo Safari : we will take every opportunity to portray nature with the advice of the professional guide and photographer. As it is a private tour, it is possible to adapt it to the characteristics of the group, depending on whether they are experienced intensive birders or amateurs looking for a first approach. It is recommended to bring comfortable footwear, cap, sunscreen, insect repellent and water. In case of heavy rain or thunderstorm, the tour may be rescheduled or canceled for safety.

Javier went out of his way to get targeted birds and more.

Javier picked me up at my hotel early on December 24th. I was impressed he had been in contact with the guide I had just spent 5 days with to get a list of birds I still needed. When we found the reserve closed due to combination of slippery muddy trails and it being Christmas Eve day, Javier immediately had another plan. The Tripadvisor tour is 3 hours, but even on a holiday, Javier was happy to add 3 more hours . I always felt safe and cared for, learned a lot, and saw some amazing birds. I highly recommend Javier as a bird guide.
Excellent!!!

I had an absolutely lovely morning walking through the nature park with Javier! We saw 61 species of birds and I felt completely comfortable being a solo traveler. Highly recommend this tour!
Wonderful experience

Javier has guided my partner and I on a hike in the South Coast Reserve and we are happy for the large number of bird species we managed to observe (more than 100 in a morning!) in addition to flora and fauna of the area. He knows the place and behavior of the birds well and helped us to identify them correctly and take good photos. Booking is recommended for both people who like outdoor activities and fanatical birdwatchers like us. It really made us feel comfortable because he is a super nice person and expert in his own! Thank you, Javier! We will be back soon:)
Best way to spend a layover!

Javier is an excellent guide with an amazing eye and ear for Argentinian birds. I had a limited amount of time before an afternoon flight so I contacted Javier. He guided me for a few hours on a previous trip in the winter of 2022. I was more than happy with the results and was looking forward to seeing birds with Javier again. Javier included a scope which resulted in the ability to see a very elusive Masked Duck, (a bird I’ve been wanting to see in other countries for over 30 years.) Javier asked for a list of birds that I might be interested in seeing specifically. He knew I just wanted to spend time away from the airport before the afternoon flight but had a goal to help me find at least two new species. At the end of our two hours, I had 11 new species on my Argentina list, five lifers, and 59 species on the day list! I look forward to someday returning for more birding with Javier.
