There are several places to go birdwatching in Argentina, the most popular being the Pampa grasslands, the Paraná river delta, and of course, the Patagonia region partially shared with Chile. While hunting certain ducks and doves is legal in the country, these activities are only allowed in specific lodges and not elsewhere.
