Valdes Peninsula Excursion + Whale Watching

At the appointed time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Puerto Madryn and depart to the Protected Natural Area of the Valdes Peninsula. After paying the entrance fee to the reserve at the checkpoint, we'll continue the tour at the Carlos Ameghino isthmus interpretation center to learn about the characteristics of the local fauna and flora. Our tour of the peninsula then takes us to the town of Puerto Pirámides. Here, if weather conditions are favorable, you can spot whales on a boat ride.

The next stop will be in Caleta Valdés, where we may make up to three stops depending on the time of year. The first stop will be in the cove, the second at Punta Cantor for elephant seals and sea lions, and the third at the penguin colony to see Magellanic penguins from September to April. Killer whales may also be sighted if weather permits.

We'll proceed to Punta Norte, where we can see a colony of elephant seals from September to December and sea lions from December to May. Additionally, killer whales may be observed if conditions allow.

Finally, you'll have lunch on your own in the area and return to Puerto Madryn, with an estimated arrival at your hotel 10 hours after pickup.
