I spent a tantalizing three hours inside the Park the morning of December 29th before setting off to Antarctica from Ushuaia. Saturated with Southern Beech woods, mountains and lakes, this national park is a treasure trove of scenery and wildlife. It is large area of over 160,000 acres. I hope to come back for much longer one day. I was lucky enough to get glimpses of several new bird species including the Upland or Magellan Goose, and the beautiful Buff-necked Ibis.

There were lots of Black-necked Swans on the lakes. They were hard to get close to.
This is as close as I could get to a Black-necked Swan, however, I was very excited to see these magnificent swans in the wild.

I was sad to leave this lovely place.
