Wai

Wai lies near San Sebastián Bay on the Atlantic shore of Tierra del Fuego. At low tide the bay exposes broad mudflats, feeding grounds for red knots and other shorebirds that travel to the island from the north. Behind the coast stretch the grasslands of the Selk'nam, whose hunters pursued guanaco and used its hide for clothing and shelter. The tides and the open steppe give this part of Karukinka two very different faces.
