Located downtown, well managed with bilingual staff I have used this hotel
several times. Wireless internet in all suites and reasonably priced.
|
|
*Art Hotel
Azcuenaga 1268, Buenos Aires
A hotel with a great location and price but we did not think the rooms where much to write home about (I think we had the smallest room in all of Argentina) so make sure to ask about your room first.
Staff speaks English.
|
|
*Carilo Village
Carpintero y Divisadero, Parque Carilo, Buenos Aires
Located 250 km south of Buenos Aires on the Atlantic coast, this is a great place to spend a few days to relax after a lot of birding in Argentina. Well
equipped, great food but not too much English by the staff. Ask for Silvia, the assistant manager who speak English silvia@yahoo.com.ar

|
*Hostal de la Luna
La Cumbre, Cordoba

Gustavo Raimondo the owner takes well care of his guests and speaks Spanish, Italian and English.
|
|
*La Posada de la Laguna
Carlos Pellegrini, Corrientes
This is a great place to stay for a few days and I had some of the best birding
in Argentina here. Miriam makes sure there is plenty of good food to eat with a
bottle of wine. If you are driving you will need a SUV or truck to get in
there or you can fly to Posadas and they will arrange local transportation.

*Grand Hotel Guarani
Mendoza 970, Corrientes
Large hotel located downtown Corrientes is good for a stopover. Staff speaks English and they have a good restaurant.
|
|
*Alejandro 1 Hotel
Paso de los Libres, Corrientes
Driving to Buenos Aires from Iguazu this is a good place to stay for a night. A little tired but every thing works and the food is good. If you want to
bird this part of Argentina you can stay for a couple of nights and the price is right.

Vila Lolette is a restored old mansion located in the small village of Villa Nougues with a beautiful view of the valley below and San Miguel de Tucuman. With, what we think,
the best beds in Argentina it is a very nice place to spend a couple of days and in the restaurant we had the best beef during the whole trip.

These forest cabanas and a dormitory are on 84 acres next to the Belize Zoo. We had the facilities to ourselves so the birding was great. It might be a different experience with the dorms full of children. We took the night tour of
the zoo and it was fascinating, especially playing inside the cage with the anteaters. Very reasonable rates. Birdingpal Mary Fuhs mfuhs@clearwire.net

The Parrots Nest boosts tree houses to stay in. The facilities were wonderful, there even was an active bird nest on the windowsill. Birding was easy from your room, by the river, and on the property. We planned to stay one night and stayed 4 instead. We also were able to leave our vehicle there while we went to Tikal, Guatemala overnight. The Parrots Nest and Chan Chich were our favorite stops, and the Parrots Nest is 1/4 the price.

Marina and Lucas Leuzinger are the perfect hosts at this working ranch with a small well appointed lodge. Wild life (600 species of birds) is some of the best in
South America. I think this is a place serious birders should visit at least once.
You can drive to the fazenda in season from Campo Grande (14 hours drive) or fly (about one hour).

The Ingenio Lodge is surrounded by the remarkable Andes Mountains and is better for Birdwatching than the Patagonia, because it has and more abundant birdlife with many endemics and some of the specialties of Central Chile with the characteristic Andean Birds who can only be found on this part of the Andes. Also, the Ingenio Lodge is very near Santiago, the capital of Chile. Birdingpal Rodrigo Reyes rodreyes77@hotmail.com

Patagonia Baker Lodge
Puerto Bertand, Patagonia
Patagonia Baker Lodge surrounded by the Magellanic Forest (the southernmost forest in the world), and breathtaking views of the Baker River: the birdlife here is not so abundant but it has a great diversity of birds, including some of the most remarkable birds of Patagonia and many Patagonian endemics. It's a very good place to do Birdwatching as well. I think it's a little expensive but we must know that it's a very remote place located in the Patagonia.

The restaurant lovely has an open aspect with good birds all around. Very pleasant and very friendly. We only stayed for 24 hours on our tour - not enough!

Tandayapa Bird Lodge
Quito
Tandayapa Bird Lodge - great place for hummers with scores of them around the feeders all day long. Great trails around the lodge. Handy for the Tandayapa Valley(obviously!) and the Old Nono-Mindo. Good standard of accommodation and food. Very steep path to the lodge from the car park maybe be a problem for those with mobility difficulties - I found trekking poles to be a big help here. Communications with the outside world are very difficult - a blessing in some ways. Birdingpal Bob Foskett rfoskett@ntlworld.com

Hostal Restaurante Mirador Río Blanco
Río Blanco
Hostal Restaurante Mirador Río Blanco (Trel: 2770307) in San Miguel de los Bancos or just "Los Bancos". Basic rooms but an excellent birding spot with feeders on a veranda that overlooks the huge valley of the Rio Blanco - spectacular. Trees all around gave us species that we didn't see elsewhere. Another place with great food and staff that are so helpful and welcoming. Los Bancos oddly enough doesn't have a "banco" but there are phone booths in the town. Worth a visit for lunch and/or dinner if you aren't staying there. Handy for Four Rivers, Rio Silanche and Milpe. No website. Birdingpal Bob Foskett rfoskett@ntlworld.com
