Patagonia lacks a huge amount of large wildlife. However, the bird diversity is incredible. This is the Giant Carpenter Woodpecker. We also saw Andean Condors, Albatross, Penguins, Flamingos, a Pygmy Owl, tons of hawks, eagles, and falcons, among others.

Baby Guanaco. So cute!
A statue of the mylodon. The giant sloth that lived in Patagonia until it was hunted into extinction. This is the mascot of Puerto Natales.
Once the weather got bad (rain and 95km winds) we hopped on this ferry and got out of Torres del Paine as quickly as possible.
