Local Fauna

The great thing about the EcoCamp tour we chose is the flexibility it offers. Wildlife Safari has a daily menu of three different activities to choose from: easy, medium, and hard. After our difficult hike on our first full day at the Camp, I was ready for easy. Not so for You-Know-Who.

Julie opted for a 13-mile roundtrip hike to Francés Valley: van to ferry to "feets". Steep up and steep down. Tiny alpine geraniums distant glacier and mountain views, botany and geology mini lessons in the field.

I chose a dawdling fauna tour that began, miraculously, with a far-off puma sighting before we even left camp! Then sundry other wildlife: eagle, armadillo, birds, guanacos--live and dead. Oh, and ancient petroglyphs.もっと詳しく
