Humedal de Batuco
Located just 30 minutes from Santiago, Batuco Wetland is one of the most important freshwater wetlands in Central Chile. It is home to over 100 bird species, including coots, herons, and the colorful Many-colored Rush Tyrant. Its lagoons and reed beds offer excellent opportunities to observe migratory and resident waterbirds.
You can choose to visit Batuco if you’d like to focus on aquatic and freshwater birds, or Farellones if you prefer a variety of high Andean species and contrasting mountain landscapes.

Farellones
Farellones is a mountain village in the Andes, about an hour from Santiago, surrounded by high-altitude landscapes. It’s a unique habitat where you can spot iconic Andean birds like the Black-chested Buzzard-Eagle, Southern Caracara, and, with luck, the majestic Andean Condor soaring above the cliffs.
