Argentina comprises an amazing diversity of landscapes and habitats: from subtropical rainforests in the north to dry steppes and deserts in the south and west; and from the highest peaks of the western hemisphere in the Andes range, to the flatlowlands of the Pampas and Chaco. And everything in between.

For this reason there is an impressive diversity of birds, with over 1000 species.

In this brochure you will find a selection of Argentina’s bird fauna, with species significant for their uniqueness, rarity, or endemic status. They represent some of the species most sought-after by birdwatchers who visit this part of the globe.
