Shrimp and sea lion rookery in

Posted on 16. Jan, 2008 by martina in Uncategorized

Shrimp is 250 km. Trelew and 244 km. Comodoro Rivadavia.
We start from Commodore, with family and sandwiches in the car.
It is the only place in Patagonia, I saw penguins up close, it was here in Shrimp. I was shocked to be so, so free, I thought so. We walked along a path that almost the penguins were playing ... they are very quiet in his own.
When we Shrimp, I saw that the village is very small, is a typical fishing village and only two attractions are the penguin and sea lion. On the way we saw guanacos running, is very common for these areas, see piches, hares, foxes and ostriches.
We parked the car and we got to see them up close, we walked along a path surrounded only by a rope and penguins pass in front of your eyes to either side. They are around the path, everywhere, the penguin is great, we saw some wolves and penguins on the beach, on the other shore and at sea. They say sleep at sea, and feed, this occurs from May to August. Besides the cries of some babies and mothers who are attentive to the skua, a bird that is often carried pigeons when a mother gets lost. And that is in permanent low-flying, watching the penguins.
In the distance, a wide view of the Rookery are thousands of nests and black heads.
We were in January but in February the national holiday is made of salmon, where lovers make fishing boat fishing contest.
On this coast you can find mussels, clams, and vieyras.

Here's the video of this beautiful adventure.
