OVERVIEW

Spend a full day exploring the breathtaking Peninsula Valdés, a UNESCO-designated nature reserve. The journey begins in Puerto Madryn with a drive to Puerto Pirámides, a small eco-village known for its proximity to marine life.

Depending on the season, you can opt for a boat tour to see southern right whales (June–November), or a nautical trip featuring sea lions and seabirds (December–March). Note: no navigation tours operate from April to mid-June.

The overland route continues through the peninsula’s southern region, where you’ll travel across rolling grasslands, pass salt flats, and visit coastal viewpoints like Punta Cantor and Caleta Valdés—often home to massive southern elephant seals. Throughout the day, you may also encounter local wildlife such as guanacos, maras, armadillos, foxes, and rheas.

The experience includes a visit to the Carlos Ameghino Interpretation Center, which offers insightful displays about the area’s geography and fauna.
