During the expedition, we’ll explore forests, gardens, open areas, trails, and areas near the river, allowing us to encounter a wide variety of species and observe different behaviors all along the same route. This experience is designed to let you enjoy nature, learn about birds, and take excellent photographs. The region is home to an estimated 400 bird species, and during a morning of birdwatching, it’s possible to spot around 50 to 80 species, depending on weather conditions and bird activity.
