Destination overview

Situated to the southeast of South America, close to the Antarctic and Cap Horn, the Falklands Islands were discovered by a Spanish expedition in 1520. More than 200 years later, sailors from Saint-Malo settled in the land, and named the islands after their country. These Saint-Malo natives were later chased off by the Spanish. The islands were later populated before Argentina set up a penal colony. Great Britain conquered the islands in 1833. Dotted with grass tufts, deep inside a grey and often agitated sea, these pieces of land buried in the middle of the Atlantic are home to auks, albatrosses and killer whales...

cons

  •  From the continent, boat shuttles are rare (every six weeks).
  •  The weather is specially fresh and wet.

The Falkland Islands Holidays in The Falkland Islands, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

If you travel so far, you may as well spend a few days strolling along the cliffs, watching penguins and other sea mammals, or reading by the fireside. On New Island, give yourself a treat by staying in the lodge of Ian and Maria Strange (Telephone: 211 85). Rather simple, but at the end of the world, it deserves a stop! Also go for a round of fishing, the fishing of trout starts on the 1st September and ends on the 30th April.
