Birding Tours Uruguay

Birding Tours Uruguay is a small eco-tour outfit based in La Barra, Maldonado, on Uruguay's southeastern Atlantic coast. The company focuses on the country's Important Bird Areas in Maldonado and Rocha departments — coastal lagoons, wetlands and grasslands where over 400 species have been recorded, including a strong cast of threatened pampas specialists. Lead guide Gonzalo Millacet (a certified Ecotourism Guide Technician) runs trips in English and Spanish, mixing dedicated birdwatching with kayaking and horseback nature outings. Itineraries emphasize globally threatened species such as Saffron-cowled Blackbird and Yellow Cardinal alongside the seabird and shorebird spectacle along the Atlantic shore.
