The Falkland Islands are famous for the wild life, clean air and big skies.
When the sun shines, the blues and greens pop out like the colours in a magic painting book, and the fiery sunrise and sunsets can be magnificent for photographic enthusiasts, this is paradise.
Farm settlements are situated close to the shore as in days gone by the only way to access the outside world was by sea.
The colourful houses surrounded by green sheep paddocks created by years of heavy stocking, makes a homely welcome to the otherwise stark landscape.
The islands seem lonely and isolated for some folk, but the wild, rocky hills, deep valleys and crystal clear waters more than make up for the lack of trees and lush fields.
Wherever you travel in the Falkland Islands you will be greeted with a friendly smile or a courteous "hello" to welcome you. The pace of life is comforting, allowing you to completely unwind and enjoy the experience.
Falkland Islanders are proud of their existence and their heritage; they pride themselves on being hospitable; self-sufficient and are known for working hard and playing hard.

West Lagoons Farm offers a chance to have an insight into life in the Falklands and take part in farm activities.
You can observe the wildlife, or make friends with the farm animals, read a book, enjoy a stroll with a picnic or just relax and doing nothing.
It's an ideal place to get away from the stresses of modern living. You will have a sense of personal security, which is sadly increasingly rare in less privileged places around the world.
You won't want to leave.
