We will visit Cabo Dos Bahías, inhabited by one of the most diverse marine bird colonies in the entire world and one of the largest continental penguin colonies, with almost half a million birds. Here we observe a constant coming and going from and to their nests, an activity which increases in the morning and at sunset when it is cooler. At a distance of only a few meters, we can observe how they fight for their homes. Behind them, a line of penguins cut across our walkways--where we must move carefully in order to not bother them--towards nests further away from the beach.

The same way that the English naturist Charles Darwin did it in 1834, we will explore the Estuary, navigating in modern seacraft. The Ría Deseado Natural Reserve, due to its geological formation and its fauna, is one of the most important reserves on the Atlantic Coast. We will see first-hand a diversity of species in their natural habitat, like: sea wolves, five different species of cormorants, Magellanic penguins, realices, biguas, southern seagulls, oysters, antarctic pigeons, petrels, groups of dolphins, etc. which come together to make the Estuary a true natural treasure.

We will lodge in a Patagonian ranch so that the following day we can visit the Caves of the Painted Hands (declared as "Cultural Patrimony of Humanity" by UNESCO), looking over the Canyon of the Río Pinturas (The Paint River), with a depth of more than 150 meters. Due to its surrounding geographical environment and the quantity of archeological discoveries in the area, it is calculated that this is the most important discovery of Rupestrian Paintings. Here, we can observe the rupestrian paintings which date back 9000 years, and which have been exposed to the environment, the light of the sun, and the climatic conditions. These paintings are symbols which include hands in negative and positive relief, guanaco hunting scenes, and a great variety of silhouettes and geometrical shapes, all with the spectacular surroundings of the Canyon which provokes an unforgettable experience. And in the evening, you will be able to enjoy a good Patagonian barbecue, the asado.

The Los Glaciares National Park has been declared by UNESCO as Natural Patrimony of Humanity. The Glaciar Perito Moreno is 4 kilometers wide, 195 kilometers long, and 60 meters high over the level of Lake Argentino. It moves slowly over the bottom of the lake to produce the phenomenon known world-wide; the process of the rupture of this glaciar ocurrs when it advances over the Peninsula of Magellanes until it forms a natural dike of ice that blocks the passage of the waters from the Brazo Rico to the Canal de los Témpanos. In any epoch of the year, the constant caving-in of the glaciar astonishes the visitors as the towers of ice fragment into ice floes. Once at the glaciar, its majest impacts the tourist, who through flights of steps or footbridges can obtain different views of the Glacier, all of them unforgettable.

BUENOS AIRES: To finalize this program, we will visit Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. A city which has generously received people from the most diverse origins and which has incorporated them into the Argentine way of life, becoming a great metropolis, elegant, cultured, and dynamic. A city with the seduction of the tango, the traditional neighborhoods, and the very attractive commercial centers. In this city, you can take optional excursions like: a city tour, the Delta del Tigre and the coastal train, a visit to San Telmo, a dinner with a tango show.
