The Falkland Islands are among the few places left that can truly be described as "off the beaten track". Most first-timers to the Islands are pleasantly surprised. The temperate climate (with occasional strong winds) coupled with breathtaking scenery, a fascinating way of life and abundant wildlife all contribute.

This fascinating guide, produced by the WILDGuides design team, contains a comprehensive full-colour insight into the top nineteen destinations currently visited by cruise vessels in the Falkland Islands. There are also four future sites briefly described which are hoping to attract the cruise industry. The introductory map shows the location of each place within the Falklands archipelago. The text outlines history, possible landing places, with detailed maps, wildlife information, geology and nature/hiking trails. A checklist of all species mentioned, with their English and scientific names, is included. There is also information on the history, the people, Stanley - the capital of the Islands and much more.

There are photographs and specially drawn maps. Most of these tourist sites are privately owned and the unique maps contain information added personally by landowners that you will not find in print anywhere else. There is a "features" column for each site which provides site-specific information, and a "pointers" column which has specific reference to the Falkland Islands Countryside Code.
