Tell us about the Wildlife
The key to loving the wildlife was the information from our three guides - sebastian was the best, knew the most , and his joy and love ; franciso was young and and took us on a fun filled nature hike with amazing lunch from his sister a chef ; and pablo got us to kayack and see a whale from 20 feet away - stunning our last unplanned trip to see penguins as they had arrived was sebastians idea and was unblievalbe as we saw them arrive in ocean and then make ways to old nest. we got to see , but it was fully their environment they let us share
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Patagonia?
Go when the penguins and whales both there begining third week of september to be sure, and to use Swoop for perfect trip

Brought us closer to nature and wildlife and need to protect the ocean to protect their world. and to see ourselves as part of a world with much more than humans and other scentient beings
