The 3.5-mile hike takes you through the island’s rugged landscape. Your expert guide will share insight into Falkland life and culture, and help you identify key flora and fauna, which you can mark on a handy illustrated checklist. Look out for species such as Falkland Thrushes, Upland and Kelp Geese, Long-tailed Meadowlarks, Falkland Steamer Ducks and Magellanic Penguins, as well as various endemic ferns, shrubs and grasses.
