Photographic opportunities should be excellent. In addition to whale watching, we explore the white sand and stone beaches chock-full of seals, sea lions and seabirds. We also visit Punta Tombo, a major Magellanic Penguin colony used by over 500,000 birds at peak breeding season. October is the austral springtime, and we should also be able to see land mammals and birds with their young such as ostrich-like rheas, guanacos, and a host of other species utilizing these habitats. The expedition begins and ends in Buenos Aires.
Travel is by private coach, and accommodations vary from first class hotels to simple lodges.
