The Chaco of southeast Bolivia is a less visited, semiarid region that is not often included on standard birding tours to the country. It's part of the Gran Chaco region, which encompasses southeastern Bolivia, western Paraguay and northwestern Argentina east of the Andes. It has a very different and quite unique biogeography that includes spiny scrublands, deciduous thorny forests dry savanna, and scattered wetlands. It features a unique set of specialty birds, many not found in the immediate vicinity of Santa Cruz, which is situated on the northern edge of the region.

Our Chaco extension begins with about a 4-hour transfer from Santa Cruz to the town of Camiri, located in foothills bordering the Chaco lowlands. During our stay there, we'll spend a full day birding the Chaco south toward the border with Argentina and Paraguay and a full day birding dry forest in the Andes foothills north of town. We then return to Santa Cruz where the tour ends at the airport or your hotel.
