Laguna Nimez of El Calafate





Laguna Nimez is a
natural reserve of the town El Calafate at Lago Argentino. The reserve is relatively small, but provides a recreational space and enables observation of flora and fauna. “The ornithological wealth is the aspect of greatest interest in the reserve. Around 80 species have been detected, including some that only use the place temporarily in their migration.” [1]


 This bandurria kept walking around a bush -
very clever


Laguna Nimez is in walking distance from the town center and is also mentioned in the Lonely Planet [2]. For more information, if you want to visit the reserve, look here: [3].
