Argentine Patagonia

The Patagonia Azul Biosphere Reserve encompasses the greatest biodiversity on the Argentine coastline. The area includes important breeding, feeding and migration sites for various species. It also hosts the world's largest colony of Magellanic penguins.

Patagonia is a distinct geographical region at the base of South America, spanning the southern areas of Argentina and Chile. Sparsely populated, Patagonia is known for its arid plains, breathtaking mountain vistas, lakes, glaciers, and bountiful, diverse wildlife.

Nestled amid the rugged expanse of the Patagonian Andes stretching across Chile and Argentina, the Southern Patagonian Ice Field stands as an immense testament to the glacial history of this region. Holding the distinction of being the world's second-largest contiguous extrapolar ice field, it constitutes the more significant remnant of the once-expansive Patagonian Ice Sheet.

Tierra del Fuego National Park is located on the western half of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego in an area known for its biological richness. It stretches from the Beagle Channel to the shores of Lago Kami at the southernmost point of Argentine Patagonia.

Valdés Peninsula in Patagonia features significant biodiversity, including highly fragile terrestrial and marine ecosystems. The dynamic coastal zone features rocky cliffs, shallow bays, coastal lagoons, and small islands. It is both a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site.
