Descripción

Parque Provincial de la Araucaria is a small protected park of ​​92 hectares in the town of San Pedro. The park gets visits because of the Araucaria trees here, and the upland Araucaria forest "Big 5" endemic birds to be found here.

1 - Having reputedly the highest density of Canebrake Groundcreeper in the world is the big pull, though plenty have gone away without seeing this arch-skulker hiding away in the lower bamboo strata.

2 - Easier, though patience is still needed, to see Araucaria Tit-Spinetail high in the pom-poms of mature Araucaria trees.

3 - This is Helmeted Woodpecker country too, but very infrequently seen.

4 - You should, on the other hand, get to see the critically endangered Vinaceous-breasted Parrot pairs coming in to roost in the evening.

5 - Last Araucaria specialty is Azure Jay. Very rare but still to be found.
