Descripción
Old gardens and sparce trees on Vorotan's canyon side. They are home for Pico Sirio, Arrendajo Euroasiático and various tits. Near water springs and old wells you can find different finches (Pinzón Vulgar, Jilguero Lúgano, Picogordo Común, Pardillo Común) and warblers such as Curruca Capirotada, Carricerín Común and Mosquitero Común.
As this place is the side of canyon, you can encounter birds of prey and scavengers such as Busardo Moro, Águila calzada, Águila Pomerana, Quebrantahuesos, Alimoche Común and also swifts.

Accesso
This area is located at the outskirts of Halidzor village. You can get there by car or by taxi from the closest town Goris. You should go through Halidzor village towards Tatev, and stop near Dzorak guesthouse. Then go by foot downslope along the unpaved road. Total descent from Tatev higway and Dzorak guesthouse to the river is about 500 m. So you should count your power to rise back up.
It takes 1-2 hours to have a good birding trip (it is not necessary to go all the way down to the riverbed).
