Valdes Peninsula

An early departure for Peninsula Valdes Provincial Reserve. After a one-hour drive, we arrive in Puerto Pirámides where you can go on a whale watching boat trip (optional extra from June to December). From December to March you can also see sea-lions, cormorants and probably dark dolphins. This tour is subject to weather conditions.

 

Once the boat trip is over, you explore the south of the peninsula going through Salinas Grande and Chica. On getting to Punta Delgada, around midday, we can have lunch at the El Faro resort (optional extra). There we have the opportunity to go down the cliffs and walk close to the sea-elephants. After that we continue to Punta Cantor along the eastern coastline of the peninsula and we get to Caleta Valdés (Valdés Inlet) where there are some interesting geological formations. There is always a good chance of coming across wild fauna such as guanacos, rheas, foxes, maras (Patagonian hare), armadillos, skunks, etc. Finally, you return to the city of Puerto Madryn at sunset.
