About us
Born in the heart of Argentine Patagonia, Caticura ecotours is a Santa Cruz-based operator founded by a certified birdwatching guide and tourism professional with over 20 years in the field. Led by a genuine passion for birds and nature, the company was created in 2020 with a clear purpose: to share the extraordinary natural and cultural wealth of Santa Cruz with travelers from around the world.
We design birding and wildlife tours that go beyond the checklist. Our experiences combine expert guiding, cozy accommodations, and authentic Patagonian cuisine — so that every trip feels as warm and genuine as the landscapes you'll discover. Home to more than 250 bird species and some of the most dramatic scenery in the southern hemisphere, Santa Cruz is a destination that speaks for itself. We're simply here to help you discover it.
Our work is guided by a deep respect for the environment and the communities that call Patagonia home. We believe that responsible tourism is the only tourism worth doing — which is why we support local suppliers, follow sustainable practices, and contribute to conservation and environmental education initiatives in the region.
Whether you're a seasoned birder or a nature enthusiast, Caticura ecotours offers a reliable, passionate, and truly authentic gateway into one of the world's last great wildernesses.
