In Uruguay’s coastal lagoons, we work closely with ecotourism ventures to conserve migratory bird habitats and promote responsible tourism.

Within the producer network, several family farms have incorporated ecotourism, offering visitors the chance to explore their lands, learn their stories, and observe migratory birds in their natural habitat.

Ecotourism champions conservation, provides supplemental income for rural families, raises environmental awareness, and ensures these birds continue returning year after year.

We invite you to discover these magical corners of the coastal lagoons and plan your next nature-immersed adventure.
