Argentina - Wildlife

We have just completed a fantastic six-week trip around Argentina, Chile and (a bit of) Brazil - see map. What contrasts! From cities to mountains, and glaciers to deserts. Naturally I took loads of photos, so I have arranged them: Argentina - Cities, Landscapes, Wildlife (this album); Brazil - Rio de Janeiro; Chile - Cities, Landscapes, Wildlife plus (as they are so unique) Moai of Rapa Nui and Street Art of Valparaiso. I have also included one combined album: Argentina and Brazil - Iguazu Falls. Whilst not a wildlife trip per se, there was still lots to photograph, especially in the Peninsula Valdez and the Beagle Channel in Tierra del Fuego. Lots of adorable sea lions and penguins, so apologies for the profusion thereof - but hopefully some photos of other interesting species too!
