The once considered by Zimmer «The finest field birder / ornithologist that the world had ever seen.» Ted Parker, showed a high preference for birding at Abra Malaga, that shows a wide gradient habitat where the birds are rare elsewhere. We can also have acces for birding in one of the best preserved Polilepys forest, vital resource for preserving biodiversity and hydrological functions, which will be altered by climate change and challenge the sustainability of local human communities.

Abra Malaga still holds a great number of species including five globally-threatened and eight restricted-range species. The «Veronica» glaciar offers two sides, a Polilepys forest and Cloud Forest, both offers unique ecological conditions and endemics and highly threatened species still easy to spot and photograph.
