Natural Wonders of Chile - 27th January to 19th February 2024
We had long wanted to do a bird and nature watching tour of Chile but although we have travelled quite extensively in South America we had never made it to Chile apart from a brief day trip from Argentina and a stop at the Chilean Antarctic base. We did think about doing a predominantly birding...- dandsblair
