Only one kilometer from El Calafate near Lake Argentino is Laguna Nímez Reserve, where you can watch colorful birds while immersed in a peaceful environment in contact with the biosphere of the area. |
When you visit this place, we recommend you drive slowly and stop from time to time to appreciate the flora and fauna of the reserve. The circuit is approximately 2,500 m. long.
At the entrance you will meet the bird guides and see an herbarium to identify species. Interpretative signs will assist you on a self guided visit.
It is important to observe birds without causing any disturbance and if you need information, contact the rangers in the reserve.
It is a great spectacle that you can appreciate from shelters and panoramic points. You can see aquatic birds feed, the places where they nest and also shruberies such as calafate. |

Birds are colorful and graceful. You can see flamingos, kelp geese, silver macas, black neck swans, bandurrias, teros, ducks, sparrows, and chimangos among other 70 species.
This place is ideal to enjoy at dawn or at sunset in the summer, and in winter it is transformed into a natural ice skating field.
While you walk through this 500 meters circuit you can contemplate Lake Argentino and Round Bay, postcards of El Calafate that you should not miss. |
