Explore historic sites of the Falklands Conflict
The Falklands War was a ten-week conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom. Thousands of Argentine and British Soldiers fought for control of the islands after Argentina invaded on the 2nd of April 1982 Islands and claimed sovereignty over them. The conflict lasted a total of 74 days and ended with the Argentine surrender on 14 June 1982, returning the islands to British control. This tour will give you the opportunity to visit many of the key sites and battlefields of the conflict including Goose Green, Stanley and Tumbledown.
