Beschrijving

Paso Centurión is a remote and peaceful corner in northeastern Uruguay, where Atlantic Forest meets grasslands and the banks of the Yaguarón River. This mosaic of habitats offers exceptional conditions for birdwatching. Throughout the year, visitors can observe species typical of the Atlantic Forest and southern Brazil, such as Surucua Trogon, Large-tailed Antshrike, Ochre-faced Tody-Flycatcher, Planalto Woodcreeper, and Brown Tinamou.

In open fields and grasslands, it is possible to find Saffron-cowled Blackbird, Scarlet-headed Blackbird, Rusty-collared Seedeater, and Black-and-white Monjita, among many other species. The mix of environments, low human presence, and the tranquility of the area make Paso Centurión one of the best birding spots in Uruguay to enjoy nature in its purest form.
