Juan Rodiquez Cabrillo of Portugal was the first European explorer to visit the San Diego area, but the city was founded by Spanish missionaries.

Bird watching has quickly become one of the most popular hobbies in the World. What at one time was just a backyard interest has now grown into extensive bird watching vacations. When looking for a bird watching vacation, you can choose from one as simple as a weekend getaway or you can elect to go on one as long as a 14-day extravaganza full of rare and interesting birds to watch.

There are more than 1000 different species of birds in the United States alone, all of which are unique in their own way. Each species of bird has their own call pattern, sound, shape, and even a different beak. As a bird watcher, you may only have about a half a second to identify a bird by seeing how it moves through the trees, or by the shape of its wings. For the amateur bird watcher, it can be frustrating out there alone, not knowing what to look for, or what type of bird you have found. That is why a bird watching vacation can be quite an adventure for you, as well as a time for you to learn a hobby that you may soon fall in love with. Usually bird watching vacations are guided tours with a large group of people who enjoy helping others discover the love of bird watching.

Where to Go On a Bird Watching Vacation

The possibilities are endless when deciding where to go on a bird watching vacation. Here are just a few choices that have been rated some of the best bird watching vacation spots in the World. Costa Rica has often been considered the Mecca of bird watching. With such exquisite locations as the reserve of Bosque de Paz and the La Ensenada refuge, Costa Rica is one of the most popular bird watching vacation spots to be found.

South Africa frequently offers bird watching vacations to Kruger Park, Pretoria, Hluhuwe Game Reserve, and everywhere in between. Birders can experience a great variety of local birds, migrants, and endemic birds that make up the almost 850 species that can be found in this stunning location.

During a winter bird watching vacation, you may want to find yourself on the sandy beaches of The Grand Bahama Island. Grand Bahama Island has the distinction of being the 2nd most bird-populated island in the Bahamas. The Rand Nature Centre is home to West Indian Flamingos, Red-legged Thrushes, the endangered Bahama parrot, as well as numerous other species of birds. While kayaking in the crystal clear water you will have the chance to see rare birds that live in the Mangrove swamps, and the Caribbean Pine Forest.

Opportunities are plenty on any of these bird watching vacations. It is up to you to choose the one that takes you both to a beautiful location and one that will thrill the bird enthusiast within you.

The city of Cusco is a must-see when it comes to vacations to Peru, and just outside you will find the Sacred Valley with unique beauty. With a lower altitude to the neighbouring city, it is somewhere many visitors go to acclimatize easier and do more walking. The scenery it possess makes it perfect for a whole multitude of adventure tours.

The country is beautiful in itself and the Urubamba River part of the Sacred Valley flows from Cusco, past Machu Picchu and towards the Amazon which makes it one of the most stunning. It was the heartlands of the Inca Empire and is therefore rich in ancient indigenous history. Biking tours are often taken through this region so that you can enjoy the many ruins.

There are a number of locations where it is common to bike to in the Sacred Valley. Depending on the amount of time you have, you can choose a single day tour and go to just a couple of them or you can combine several into a multi-day tour.

For a single day tour, a popular destination is the Inca ruins at Moray and the saltpans of Salineras. Moray is a fascinating site of circular agricultural terraces. The Incas used this area to grow crops – and many different varieties at that – which isn’t able to do unless you are at this altitude. Spiritual significance, as with many spots around here, is believed to have played a part in this site. From a distance, many people see Salineras as a vast quilt thanks to the squarish patches of salt. You can see around 3000 salt pans in total. During the dry season, they are filled with salt water from a natural spring located above them. As the water evaporates, the salt is left.

Fascinating as these two sites are, if you have more time, to get a more varied view of what the Sacred Valley has to offer, you can include the Lares hot springs. The springs are located at around 4400 meters above sea level. An overnight stay and a relaxing time is perfect here. On the way down, you can have the opportunity to ride on trails and steps that were once used by the Incas.

Around Ollantaytambo, there are various opportunities as well, such as the Inca quarries where the stones were taken to build the Ollantaytambo site. Heading to Abra Malaga is yet another option, when you can head up mountain pass to 4400 meters. There are a few different ways of descending from here, some of which are more challenging than others and meant for expert riders only.

Any level of biker can enjoy the tours thanks to the fact that there are so many possible trails – so, whether your a beginner or an expert you can have fun up here. As with everything, always be cautious and ensure that you are able to do what you sign up for. It’s also a good idea to pay attention to reviews of the various agencies, particularly in terms of the quality of the equipment. Going on these tours on bikes that are not of good quality or in good condition will clearly affect your ability to enjoy the experience to its fullest.

It’s important that you understand how special you can make a vacation to South America. Using Peru adventure travel is just one of the many ways to have a great time. Click the link to find out more about trips to Peru.

Argentina and Chile are both fairly large countries and it can take a lot of time to see everything there is to see. There are some areas in each, however, that are the most recommended to see during your stay.

Part of your decision will depend on what interests you most. For example, both countries offer many opportunities to get out and enjoy nature as well as cities to enjoy the metropolitan cultures in each country. Ideally, you’ll have the time to enjoy at least a little bit of both to get a real feel for your destination.

For travelers who enjoy visiting cities, Buenos Aires is not to be beat. With plenty to see and much to do, there is a multi-cultural feel to this European like place. In fact, even travelers who aren’t so keen on cities normally may want to spend at least a couple of days here soaking up the vibrations. This is a top place to enjoy top cuisine while dancing is what it is particularly known for. Even if you have no interested in learning to tango yourself, you’ll want to head to a show to see it live.

It can be difficult deciding where you should go, especially if you are a nature lover. The Iguazú waterfalls on the border with Brazil and spanning both countries offer stunning vistas and a location for both boating and hiking. There are a variety of trails, some that are more challenging than others. There is a great ecosystem here, and thanks to the falls and the jungles, you can enjoy a variety of animals and birds in this region.

The province of Catamarca is a great spot for the tourists who love the outdoors. This area, located in the northwest of Argentina, has a varied landscape with lakes, rivers, mountains and more where you can ride horses, mountain bike and, of course, hike. In addition to the natural beauty, there are a number of archaeological sites as well as the pretty colonial city of San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca to visit.

An area that is really unique, found partly here and partly in Chile is the Patagonia region to the south. There are lakes, forests, mountains and, most especially, glaciers. A wildlife sanctuary, Península Valdés, is the home for many animals and birds like whales, penguins, sea elephants, sea lions, egrets, cormorants, flamingos and many more. It’s an ideal location for adventure sports such as mountain biking, wind surfing, water skiing, scuba diving, jet skiing, sailing and snorkeling.

For those vacationers who aren’t interested in taking an adventure holiday, or who want a bit of a break from it, take a ride on the Train to the Clouds, Tren de las Nubes. The route rises to as much as 4000 masl, making it the world’s 3rd highest train. Because of the height, it is frequently surrounded by clouds.

Another less active but certainly enjoyable trip is to the Mendoza region which is located in the northwest so could perhaps be combined with a trip to Catamarca. This is the best place for trying some of the many outstanding varieties of wine that Argentina has to offer.

All we hear today is about how good South America is for a vacation, and there are many Argentina tour packages that would make for the ultimate experience. What you need to do is sift through Argentina tour operators so that you can find the best one for your needs.
