Pelagic Birding with
Humboldt Pelagics™
Our pelagic trips are some of the most thrilling and rewarding experiences for the birder looking for a wide variety of pelagic seabirds.
Departing from the bay of Valparaiso in the Central Chilean coast, we head due West to meet the cold and rich waters of the Humboldt Current, a stream that runs from South to North along the Pacific coast of South America and is one of the top areas for pelagic birding in the World.
Due to its extraordinary abundance of nutrients it is one of the most productive ecosystems on Earth, supporting an incredibly huge biomass with more than forty species of seabirds, several of which are endemic to these waters.
We´ll spend six hours cruising and searching offshore, enjoying unique, close views of these and other pelagic birds, while our guides share their experience and knowledge of them, so you get the most out of the journey.
Our comfortable boat has room for twenty birders seated, with enough space for everyone to have a clear, unblocked view of the sea in every direction.
The 2008 Fall-Winter season is the time to look for many seabird species on their migration from the antarctic and subantarctic waters, and to watch others undergoing long foraging trips from their breeding grounds in different areas of the Pacific Ocean.
Check out our calendar, it is the first and only to be scheduled for this area, with monthly departures. The chance to go offshore regularly in pelagics to the Humboldt Current was previously unavailable and allows avid seabirders from everywhere to keep steady, continuous records from these waters.
