Valdes Peninsula Excursion + Whale Watching

We will 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 at the checkpoint, we will visit the Carlos Ameghino isthmus interpretation center. The tour continues to Puerto Pirámides, where, if conditions permit, you can spot whales on a boat ride.

The next stop is Caleta Valdés, where we may make up to three stops depending on the time of year. The first stop is at the cove, the second at Punta Cantor, with two viewpoints for observing elephant seals and sea lions, and the third at the penguin colony, which is visible from September to April. Killer whales may also be sighted here if weather allows.

We will continue to Punta Norte, where from September to December, a colony of elephant seals can be seen, and from December to May, sea lions. Killer whales may also be observed if conditions are favorable.

Lunch will be on your own in the area, and you will return to Puerto Madryn, arriving at your hotel approximately 10 hours after pickup.
