While the rest of the world crowds into Costa Rica or Brazil, Paraguay remains the best-kept secret in ornithology. From the humid Atlantic Forest to the dry expanse of the Chaco, discover a land where the birds still rule the sky.
Paraguay sits at the convergence of major biomes. This means diversity. In a single trip, you can experience the cacophony of the Atlantic Forest in the east and the silence of the Dry Chaco in the west.
Here, you don’t just see birds; you hear the metallic clang of the Guyra Campana (Bellbird), you watch the massive Jabiru Stork nest in the wetlands, and you spot the vibrant Tanagers flashing through the canopy. And the best part? You often have these sights all to yourself. No crowds. No noise. Just you and the wild.
Birding requires patience, but it also requires precision. You can’t find the rare species if you don’t know where to look.
We partner with specialized ornithological guides—experts who know the calls, the nesting habits, and the hidden trails. Whether you are a “Lister” looking to check off specific endemic species or a photographer chasing the perfect shot, we build the logistics (4×4 transport, accommodation, and timing) to maximize your sightings.
You don’t have to go far to start. The bay right in the capital is a major stopover for migratory shorebirds (Buff-breasted Sandpipers) traveling from North America to Patagonia. It is an Important Bird Area (IBA) accessible in minutes.
We head East (towards Mbaracayú or San Rafael). This is the home of the colorful species: Toucans, Woodpeckers, Manakins, and the loud Bellbird. The jungle is dense, but the rewards are vibrant.
We head West. The landscape turns dry and thorny. Here, the birds are big and bold. We look for the Greater Rhea (Ñandú), the Seriema, and the massive raptors that hunt in the open skies.
As a photographer-led agency, we understand light. We know you aren’t just looking with binoculars; you are looking through a lens. We position you for the best angles and exercise the patience needed to get the shot.
We don’t operate on “tourist time”; we operate on “bird time.” We are ready to leave before dawn to catch the morning chorus when activity is highest.
Many of the best sightings happen on private lands or protected reserves (like Taguató or Mbaracayú). We handle the permits and entry fees so you can walk freely.
