Port Madryn, Argentina

Our next port of call was Puerto Madryn, Argentina. It is located on the Atlantic ocean about half way down the Argentina coast. This area reminded us very much of the dry desert back home in Richland, WA. Starting in June through December it is a great place to watch whales. Unfortunately we were there in late March so we did not see any whales. We did see other wildlife however.

This first bird is an rhea. It looks a lot like an ostrich. The ostrich is native to Africa and the rhea is native to South America. The rhea is smaller than the ostrich.



We also saw wild lamas. They reminded us of deer.


We saw penguins......


and we saw elephant seals. This is a mama and her baby. We didn't see a bull, but I understand they are something to see......much larger


Our driver and tour guide took this picture of Chuck and me.


We had a great adventure. Back in town, we enjoyed the scenery before getting back on board the ship.


Our next stop is the Falkland Islands.
