DRIVING
Darwin is approximately a 90 minutes drive from the capital Stanley, 40 minutes from the military base at Mount Pleasant.
​
As you approach, you'll pass the Argentine cemetery turn-off. Follow the road around the water edge of the Choiseul Sound passing Darwin Cemetery (second largest cemetery in the Falkland Islands and the majority of the graves contain employees of the Falkland Islands Company Limited and their families who lived and worked in the Lafonia area).
When continuing you'll see signs marked for Goose Green, there is a brown sign post labeled 'Darwin' and 100 yards after this you'll see a track leading towards the settlement. Parking is available at the lodge site.
