Argentina

Argentina's Atlantic coast and Patagonian waters offer remarkable pelagic birding, with trips departing from Puerto Madryn, Ushuaia, and Mar del Plata. The continental shelf supports large populations of Black-browed Albatross, Southern Giant-Petrel, and White-chinned Petrel. Trips to the Beagle Channel from Ushuaia provide close encounters with subantarctic species, while the productive waters off Buenos Aires Province attract a mix of temperate and cold-water seabirds.
