Falkland Islands Travel Guide

Falkland (Islas Malvinas) is famous for the war Argentina and the United Kingdom had over the islands. Thatcher's iron hand made sure the region is still firmly under British Rule.

Urban legend has it that our feathered friends tumbie and fall when an airplane flies by, because they try to follow the fast bird with their eyes.

Apart from pinguins, the falklands have a lot of sheep and rather few inhabitants, less than 5,000.

It is in many ways like an English village, but with Government House, a Cathedral and a wide range of amenities and services. Stanley has a few historic buildings as well as a fe ships form the days when great sailing ships and early steam vessels called on their journeys around Cape Horn.
