Dr. Lorenzo Sympson

Andean Condor observation is the pinnacle of bird watching Argentina. A day bird watching and learning about the Andean Condors with our old friend, Dr. Lorenzo Sympson, is our most popular and rewarding Patagonia eco tour. We highly recommend this for all guests regardless of their interest in bird watching.

Lorenzo is Argentina’s leading specialist on the Andean Condor and considered an expert ornithologist and naturalist in Patagonia. He is head of the Condor Project in Argentina for the University of California at Santa Cruz. This project studies the Andean Condor with hopes of reestablishing populations of California Condors in the southwestern USA. Lorenzo is a founding member of the Andean Patagonia Naturalist Society in Bariloche, an organization comprised of local experts in ecology, biology and other natural sciences that works with local governments and citizens to educated and preserve natural resources.

A day with Lorenzo includes a morning and afternoon walk or horseback ride to observe Andean Condors and other birds in the Nahuel Huapi National Park or on private ranches. A traditional Argentine asado is enjoyed at lunch either on a mountain top cottage or on a riverside lodge.

Since Dr. Sympson is an expert in all birds of Patagonia, multi-day trips bird watching in Argentina can be arranged.

Lorenzo may share with you his British ancestry, his days working as a veterinarian in Peru, managing large ranches in Patagonia or perhaps his narrow escape from death from Argentina’s military during the coup.

For anglers and non-anglers alike, meeting Lorenzo will contribute greatly to your experience in Patagonia.

A day with Lorenzo must be scheduled months in advance.
