Costa Patagónica ARGENTINA

The Atlantic Ocean bathes the coasts of Argentine Patagonia for thousands of miles. It’s an area with a harsh, cold climate and an almost permanent presence of strong winds.

A large part of the coastline is dominated by cliffs of more than 100 feet high that fall into the sea.

I t i s a rugged area and sparsely populated by people.

Huge extensions are dominated by scattered and stunted vegetation, yet at certain times of the year they are full of life.

Huge colonies of seabirds, such as the Magellanic penguin, cormorants, and terns of different species, among others, fill the pre-existing void.

Some mammals, such as sea lions and elephant seals, also choose these coasts to form their colonies, giving birth and raising their pups here during the first weeks of life.

But there are also very well adapted terrestrial animals with unique characteristics. Such is the case of the maras, large rodents endemic to Argentina. Or the guanacos, camelids that form large family groups.

The Patagonian coast of Argentina may be a harsh and solitary land, but when you travel through it you will discover the incredible natural beauty, fauna and flora that have adapted to the cold and extreme habitat.
