La Esperanza Wildlife refuge in Valdes Peninsula - Argentine Patagonia


 This wildlife was filmed in La Esperanza refuge, which was created in 2003 when conservationists from Fundación Patagonia Natural with the support of the World Land Trust brought this land from a sheep farmer and turned it into a protected area, from the coast you can enjoy the whales. The grassland and bushes of the Patagonian scrub are recovering from more than 100 years of overgrazing, but now the sheep have been replaced by native guanacos, whose numbers here have risen from 100 to over 850. The guanacos' successful population increase has lured back their top predator: the puma. A natural balance is being restored.Hotel in Puerto Piramides Peninsula Valdes Feel free to contact us to receive our promotional rates in Del Nómade Eco Hotel Puerto Piramides.
