This is another excellent site 4km further on from the end of the tunnel. The birds here differ a little from Carpish. It is accessed in just the same way by taking a colectivo but getting off a bit further down. My driver didn't know 'Paty' but its basically the first group of houses down on the left. After the houses, walk down a little path starting before the metal rail. If you're not sure, ask the locals where the school is. The path leads down to a few school buildings, then further down to a small football pitch. It was raining the morning I was there and I saw few birds but improved later on. The site is definately worth a couple of days birding. It was 8am by the time I arrived and it may well be worth staying here to be there first thing. You could probably camp. Alternatively you could contact Fernando Gallardo (
) who has a house nearby and who occasionally hosts birdwatchers and biologists.
I saw 33 species including 4 lifers.
