Stanley, East Falkland — 8 nights
©
Founded in 1843, Stanley serves as the capital of the Falkland Islands yet still exudes its rural charm.Step out of Stanley with an excursion to Bertha's Beach in Mount Pleasant--about 50 minutes away. There's still lots to do: tour the pleasant surroundings at Volunteer Point, appreciate the history behind 1982 Liberation Memorial, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Christ Church Cathedral, and take in the awesome beauty at Mount Longdon.

Falkland Islands travel guide
Colonized by many countries during their history, Falkland Islands have been claimed and fought for by Argentina for centuries and remain a subject of controversy. Although they are closer to Argentina, the islands retain their traditional British culture, language, and customs. A trip to Falkland Islands provides an opportunity to discover their staggering wildlife variety, especially birds. The islands, dotted with tiny rural settlements and hamlets, attract five types of penguins, as well whales and seabirds.
