Tour Plan
We will start this experience from centrally located hotels in the morning.
The first stop is the interpretive center Carlos Ameghino Isthmus, where you'll learn about the flora, fauna and geology of the peninsula. Also, you'll enjoy the panoramic lookout point of Golfo Nuevo, San Jose and the Island of Birds. Don't forget to bring your camera for unforgettable photo opportunities!
Once in the town of Puerto Piramides, the ones who chose the whale watching navigation will get on the boat. You will be guided by our specialized and bilingual personnel, who will provide you with more information about the exclusive ecosystems of the coast and the sea, while you sail to meet the whales. Once you meet them, magic will start. The boat will stop the engines and silence will begin to reign, interrupted only by the sounds of the sea and the occasional bird. In this scenario, the whales will appear next to the boat and you will manage to live together in harmony in the same space for as long as they decide. It will be a unique moment where, if you are lucky, you will be able to see them very close.
The moment has arrived to enter the famous in Peninsula Valdes. On the road, look out for some of the wild Argentinean land animals including guanacos, rheas, foxes, maras (Patagonian hare), armadillos and skunks.
Depending on the season, weather and the tides, you'll be visiting the following places in a different order or combined with other stops: Caleta Valdes, Punta Norte and Punta Cantor to observe elephant seals, penguins and sea lions. At sunset, you'll arrive back at Puerto Madryn and conclude the tour.
