Falkland Islands / Islas Malvinas

Situated 400 miles from the coast of South America, surrounded by open ocean, and far removed from the increasingly frantic pace of modern life, the Falkland Islands are a dramatic archipelago of rocky islets, sweeping bays and sandy beaches.

The cuisine of South America stems from a variety of cultural backgrounds, available produce, foods and cooking styles. You'll find local favorites varying from country to country, even within regions, but you'll also find international favorites and the ubiquitous fast food places.

Island views views as well as wildlife, including birds, penguins and other species.

Penguins, cormorants, and elephant seals are only a few of the wildlife species you'll see on your visit to these islands - a little bit of Britain in the South Atlantic.
