Peninsula Valdes, Puerto Pirámides

Peninsula Valdés in Province of Chubut, Patagonia, is a great place known for protection of nature: wildlife, paleobotany, vegetation and hydraulic basins. You can observe from a very short distance whales, Commerson´s dolphins making shows. Three days long I went on the boat for whale watching. Amazing!!!

baby whales communicate as well by clapping with their fins...

...and the mom is coming

near enough to touch...

jumping for a play or for communication?

synchronized swimming was invented by whales or dolphins



¡muchas grazias para todos!

Trelew

Trelew is the city where you find the most important Paleontology Museum in South America - Museo Egidio Feruglio. Here I have spent three days, visiting the Museum, watching film about Dinosauros and having a private trip with a argentinian biologist and argentinian architect (a super team :)) to Punta Tombo.

I felt really short in this case

great sceletons

maybe the only Dinosaurus bone you are allowed to hug

the great ammonit ca 1,5 m diameter

Punta Tombo

 In Reserva Natural Punta Tombo you have an opportunity to meet a huge amount of Magellan Pinguins. It is the biggest colony in the world, beside the Antarctis. On the day I have visited Magellan Pinguins many pairs had babys from which the oldest were just 7 days old... So sweet, you melt...

The first hug

Yes, indeed, area de tránsito de pinguinos

so close!

In Punta Tombo the Magellan pinguins nest in wholes in the ground which are sometimes decorated with plants or down

They have one or two babys which mom (or dad?) protects carefully... Only ca 8% of babys will reach the adult age.

huging mom (or dad?)

the pinguin parents have to be very patient, too... and use ear plugs - the babys can be really loud!

I believe I can fly...

a bit fat ass does not allow you to sink ;)
