Chilean Flamenco
The Chilean Flamingos (Phoenicopterus chilensis) are one of the species that can be observed in the Lauca National Park and in the Surire Salt Flat. The coloring of these "Chilenos" is close to orange, compared to the rather fuchsia tones of the Phoenicoparrus genus. The Chilean Flamingo does not nest in Lake Chungara, but it is almost certain that you will see them on its banks.
In the central zone of Chile, there is a great variety of endemic and semi endemic species such as the Chiricoca, the Tapaculo, etc. Also in this region you can observe some unmissable birds, such as the Chilean Swallow (Tachycineta meyeni), the Pitío (Colaptes pitius) and the Loica (Sturnella loyca), among others.
