 Blogging Challenge - Day 13 - Argentina August 13th Lyn's a sly fox   had us up early this morning. We were off to a full day tour to Mundo Marino - a theme park. There is little time to grab much breakfast, but I manage a small bit and a coffee. I even managed to get a coffee to go. Some of the group managed to snooze on the way and I will admit I do nod off for a little while. https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductDetail-g312741-d12577381-Full_Day_T... Mundo Marino is one of the most important entertainment complexes in Argentina, It is the first Theme Park installed in the country and it is also the largest Oceanarium in South America. It is located in San Clemente del Tuyú, Partido de la Costa. It hosts wonders of nature and skills performed by dolphins, sea lions and orca, as much as penguins, birds and fishes, all located in areas that recreate their natural habitat. With my coffee in hand we manage to meet up with your guide in downtown area of Buenos Aires. The trip is three and a half hours. The scenery is magnificent. There was so much to see. Our guide took us inside the park and we were able to explore the sea world, where many attractions are available: - Sea Refuge : An Orca and Dolphins performance where caregivers will show us the world of cetaceans and the work of the Mundo Marino Foundation. - The Sea Lions Island : A performance of Sea lions along with sea elephants, trying to save the island from an evil business woman who wants to build a hotel complex in their habitat. - Penguins shelter: A breeding Penguin Colony inside a recreation of their natural habitat. - Sea lions bay: In this representation of natural their environment, between rocks and waterfalls, we can feed and watch sea lions. - Submarine encounter: Enjoy a cetaceans watching through a panoramic window of a sink of a diameter of 30 meters. This pool hosts dolphin pups born each year in Mundo Marino. - Terrestrial Safari: guided expedition into the wild natural world to discover how animals, plants and the environment are related to conform a rustic habitat. - Paradise Lake: magical lake and waterfall hosting colorful birds, flamingos, fish and flowers. There were also different kinds of food available within the park. There were even places to shop. After hours of fun and animal discovery, we met up again with your guide to get on the bus and return to Buenos Aires by the same route. It was early evening when we arrived back at our same starting point. Lyn left the evening as yours to rest up and get ourselves organized before heading off in the morning to Uruguay and the capital city of Montevideo. Apparently it revolves around Plaza Independencia - which was once home to a Spanish citadel. It leads to Ciudad Vieja (Old City), with art deco buildings, colonial homes and Mercado del Puerto, an old port market with many steakhouses. La Rambla, a waterfront promenade, passes fish stalls, piers, and parks. In real time, I am off to Scotland tonight so I don't know if I will be able to keep up with the virtual trip. Have fun everyone! |
