Southern Misiones

• Day 1: We will start early at Posadas (from the hotel or the airport) and leave to the Urutaú Reserve at Candelaria, less than 20 kms away from the airport. This is a great area for waterbirds like the Muscovy Duck and the Whistling Heron and for grassland endemics like the Streamer-tailed Tyrant, the Sharp-tailed tyrant and the Wedge-tailed Grass-finch. After spending the morning at the reserve, we will have luch at the many “Parrillas” at the area and use the afternoon to visit the P. P. Cañadón de Profundidad. This park is within the ecotone of the Atlantic forest with the grasslands, allowing us to explore part of the vast biodiverse of the Atlantic forest birds. Night at San Ignacio
