... nden. Das Abwerben und das Verteidigen des Reviers führt zu mit unter sehr blutigen Kämpfen zwischen den bis zu 4 Tonnen schweren Männchen,<br>Bei unserem Besuch können wir in der Gruppe des "Latin Lovers", eines kollosalen Männchens, eine Geburt eines Elephant Seals mitverfolgen. Auffallend war erst, dass sich ein Muttertier unruhig bewegte, normalerweise ist die Gruppe sehr träge und wartet auf die Flut. Dann plötzlich ...

Bij de entree van het natuurpark Penisula Valdez kreeg je een stempelkaart met vreemde beesten. Elke keer als je een beest zag moest je die afkruisen op de kaart en als je de kaart vol had, mocht je een dier naar keuze mee naar huis nemen. Die grapjassen hadden echter ook een poema op de kaart gezet, dus dat zou nog moeilijk worden, maar we gingen er voor. En we hebben er een hoop gezien! Schapen, lama´s, konijnen, vossen ...

... diversité animale, que je vous laisse découvrir en photos! C'était également l'occasion pour moi de découvrir le maté, la boisson typique d'argentine. Il s'agit d'une infusion d'herbe très amère, bien différent du thé. Il s'agit surtout d'une boisson très 'sociale', vu que cela se prépare dans un récipient commun duquel on boit à tour de rôle ...

... rabbits look like beagles with long legs). I went to check out the elephant seals and hoped to see an orca. This is the only place in the world where orcas come on the beach to snatch baby elephant seals. Check this out: http://www ...

We read about this place and decided it was a must see so we could get a sneak peek at some penguins. After driving straight roads all day, we arrived at PuntoP. It's about 80kms off our path but couldn't drive past and we're so glad we didn't. We went whale watching in the morning, then jumped on a tour bus that took us around the penninsula to see the honorable penguins, elephant seals and sea lions blobbed along the ...

Go to the Summary Page ___________________________ In the morning we gathered at the car rental at 8. There were two german guys, and a french couple, with me. We took our car, a VW Gol (that is a model a bit smaller than a golf). It was ok for 5, but it looked like it had had an accident and the repairs were not complete. And the windshield was all impacted and broken, as all the secondary roads here are ...

After cutting our Torres del Paine trip short, we attempted to get to Peninsula Valdes as fast as physically possible (well... as fast as a 24 hour bus journey can be) as we'd heard there had been killer whale sightings there a few days previously. Peninsula Valdes is a UNESCO World Heritage Site which acts as a nature reserve for marine mammals, such as sea lions, elephant seals and fur seals. The killer whales there have developed ...

We decided to return to Puerto Piramides for our first camping excursion. We opted for the municipal campground, which was nestled behind the sand dunes backing the beach. The idea of designated sites is a foreign one. Camping here was "libre" basically a free for all. The lack of large vegetation meant shaded spots were at a premium. The best we could do was 50/50, direct sun in the morning but shade in the afternoon. We thought we could get proper naptha fuel for the stove in ...

After an amazing 10 days with the condors I went a little further southeast into the Atlantic coastal region of the Patagonia to Peninsula Valdez. Peninsula Valdez has some of the most diverse wildlife in all of Patagonia, and since I was in the area I was told it would be a huge mistake to miss it. Walter, the head of the condor camp, dropped me off at the bus station and just a 4 hour bus ride left me in Puerto ...

We arrive at 1am and the hostel is dreadful - the place just needs a damn good scrub. The group is on the point of just walking out but thankfully the tour leader sorts things out and the following day we get moved to a cheap hotel down town. Puerto Madryn is a great place for seeing lots of critters! On our 1st day we go whale watching and see southern right whales at Peninsula ...
