coniferous and even some palm trees that covered this land when it was
not the bleak barren plateau that it is today. Accommodation. Dinner.
Day 2 - Puerto Deseado
Breakfast. Full day excursion to Ría Deseado, an interesting
area conformed by the inlet and the adjoining zones. The town of Puerto
Deseado is located nearby. This inlet is unique for its geological and
fauna aspects. The course of the river has been abandonned by the former
river that covered it and was occupied by the sea. This makes it a national
treasure, due to aesthetic and scientific reasons. It's the only place
in the world where five different species of cormorans coexist, all
of them feeding in the area and three of them nesting. The Magellanic
penguin is a usual inhabitant of the inlet from October to April and
the most important roockeries are Quiroga Island, Punta del Paso Key,
Birds Island and Chaffers Island. Return to the hotel.
