From Concepción we will drive to the Nevados de Chillán area. En route to the Andes we will shall explore the Nothofagus forests searching for some specialities such as Thorn-tailed Rayadito, Des Murs` Wiretail and the endemic Chestnut-throated Huet-huet. Nevados de Chillán give the opportunity for Andean Condor, White-browed Ground-tyrant, White-sided Hillstar and Rufous-banded Miner.
