Colonia del Sacramento brings tons of tourists a year to explore the city, but the area also has a rich ecosystem, too. This Colonia del Sacramento Birdwatching and Nature Private Tour takes you to learn about the biodiversity of the area with a biologist and ornithologist guide. Watch for different bird species and learn about them and why they call the area home.

As a World Heritage site, the Old City of Colonia is well known for its historical architecture, drawing thousands of tourists every year. Here, typical tours focus mainly on the rich history of the town. But, if you are a wildlife lover, this is the only tour that will show you a more natural aspect of the "Ciudad Vieja". This activity is particularly interesting for those who are taking their first steps into the birding world. Many birds you will see are common and abundant, meaning you will have several instances of connecting with them and getting to know them well. If you have not been to South America before, almost all species and even bird families will be new to you. Even if you are an accomplished birder, this tour can yield new sightings and ticks. Some rarities for Uruguay can be seen here: nesting Southern Martins, Patagonian migrants like White-tipped Plantcutters, Straneck's Tyrannulets, and White-banded Mockingbirds, and the elusive South American Painted-Snipe.

For 9 years, we have toured wineries throughout Uruguay, which has allowed us to generate very strong ties with the owners of Uruguayan wineries. This gives us the possibility and the privilege of offering personalized tours where quality is paramount. In addition, our Wine Tourism agency has been declared of interest by the INAVI (National Institute of Viticulture) thanks to our work and first-class service that our clients guarantee. Carmelo is considered a small wine tourism gem of our country, with a set of wineries that are very different from each other. For this particular itinerary we have chosen two wineries, prioritizing the family style, where visitors will be served by the owners of the establishments themselves, since we believe that this experience is something completely unusual in other parts of the world.
