PENÍNSULA VALDÉS ADVENTURE
We begin the day by picking you up from your accommodations in Puerto Madryn, for an exclusive private experience designed to enjoy Península Valdés with greater freedom, depth, and at our own pace.
We head to this protected natural area, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where every landscape and every encounter with wildlife takes on a special meaning.
After an hour’s drive, we arrive at Puerto Pirámides, where we have the possibility of taking the traditional boat-based whale watching excursion (optional). Depending on the season, we may encounter Southern Right Whales or colonies of sea lions and cormorants, in a unique natural setting.
We continue on to the traditional Estancia San Lorenzo, where the experience becomes even more special. Here, we enjoy a typical Patagonian lunch included in the tour and gain access to the Magellanic penguin colony through exclusive trails used by biologists and researchers, allowing for an even closer and more authentic connection with the wildlife.
In the afternoon, we visit Punta Norte, a privileged setting for marine wildlife observation, where depending on the season we may see sea lions, elephant seals, and even orcas.
Before returning, we stop at the Carlos Ameghino Interpretation Center and travel part of the road bordering the Golfo San José, where our guides help us interpret local life and the activity of artisanal fishing.
Throughout the day, terrestrial wildlife accompanies us freely, adding spontaneous encounters that make this experience truly unique.
We live a full, profound, and exclusive day, where Patagonia reveals itself in its fullest expression.
Notas:
- The tour does not include the entrance fee to Península Valdés, nor the boat-based whale watching excursion.
- For passengers who do not have whale watching reserved, it is important to clarify that the spot will be guaranteed with the provider with whom we will sail. Passengers will not be able to reserve or purchase whale watching with a different operator, as there is a risk of not matching the schedule of our excursion.
